Christmas Haiku
Midnight mass
Christmas rites;
Peace on earth
~~~~~~~~~
Downtown lights
Dressed for Christmas;
Goodwill atmosphere
~~~~~~~~~
Church pews full
Congregation at ease;
Peace for our time
~~~~~~~~~
Say a short prayer
For world peace;
Smiles abound
~~~~~~~~~
Greetings and meetings
Fine foods and liquor;
Festive spirits
~~~~~~~~~
Mistletoe dance
A loving glance;
Christmas kisses
~~~~~~~~~
Christ the reason
For the season;
Love abides
~~~~~~~~~
Stroke of midnight
Christmas Day moods;
Jolly and bright
~~~~~~~~~
Dear God we pray:
May each soul feel
Love Godspeed
~~~~~~~~~
Twinkling lights
Decorated tree;
Joy sublime
~~~~~~~~~
By this old church
Memories spring;
Christmas highlights
~~~~~~~~~
Virgin Mary cradles
The new born Christ;
Humble hearts rejoice
~~~~~~~~~
Another Christmas
To celebrate love;
Goodwill to all men
~~~~~~~~~
Cheer sings profound
Of truth and love;
Christmassy moods
~~~~~~~~~
Dance and sing,
Shout out loud;
Merry Christmas
~~~~~~~~~
Joy comes to heal
The way we feel;
Love most surreal
~~~~~~~~~
May each day
Be a good day;
Come what may
~~~~~~~~~
Man be not proud
Just sing out loud;
Hope springs eternal
~~~~~~~~~
