haiku/ triolet/ tanka bare are trees’ branches except for random pine trees wearing Christmas lights Fun holidays that I adore - so swiftly do they slip away and always leave me wanting more. Fun holidays that I adore - they always make my spirit soar. Gone soon will be my holiday. Fun holidays that I adore - so swiftly do they slip away. summer is long gone; though Christmas, Thanksgiving, and happy New Year’s Eve fill dreary days with brightness . . . two months of winter remain

Great triple entry. Loved your triolet ! Time slips away so fast . So do holidays. After retirement every day is a holiday for me, but with more work than when working. All the Best Andrea !

Soon winter will splinter and spring arrive, Old (sinful klaus) though might go overdrive? Aligned with scoros evil star..The morales Medium familiy one 'a david' that even his Bloomberg cousin won't be able to pull out Of the crimes in London near traitors gate.' Will be a trial to the global thugs, another Aussie has stood them up.' No wonder why They cracked down hard.' Battleground Melbourne thats the word, and all the people On 'soup as well.' Were to be their serfs I have To tell.!

Oh yes Andrea i hope you can Forgive the rant? I got carried Away on a 'feeling' and i did not Deliberate long ' so may the Spring be kind to you, all joy Till next years end I send.'

I agree with your sentiment....since I'm not particularly fond of winter...once the holidays are over, I feel as if winter lingers unmercifully long. You captured that feeling perfectly. Merry Christmas, Sara

Ah sweet andrea, you always do these forms so well and I absolutely love your haiku triolet and tanka, i especially love the haiku the imagery there youve painted in such a creative manner. I can see through your words bare branches and pine trees. Holidays it is for us too now but that’s exactly my thought, gone soon it will be too. Very well said, time just flies… i cant believe its almost already end of this year. Sending you light always. Pleasure always reading you
