Holiday Haiku

Labor Day 
                                 
summers last hurrah                       
smell it wafting on the breeze
grills are all ablaze

Halloween

hot cider for ghosts
frost on the pumpkins tonight
jack-o-lantern grins

Thanksgiving

night before the feast
turkey takes off for the woods
with the pig in tow

Christmas

santa swarms the skies
laden down with all those gifts
reindeer go on strike

New Years Eve

ball emblazoned drops
people shouting and lip locks
quickly making friends

New Years Day

resolutions made
fat man lights a cigerette
no intent has he

Valentines Day

lovers flowers give
promises of life to come
hearts to give away

St. Patricks Day

green beers floods the pubs
kiss me i'm irish shirts worn
hardly any are

Easter

chocolate bunnies rule
inside church the truth is told
roll the stone away

Memorial Day

let the sweet breeze in
summer just around the bend
weary faces smile

The 4th Of July

summer in full swing
crickets chirp their favorite tune
fireworks scan the sky


so it starts again
holidays for each season
lets laugh and enjoy!
