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! ** for Going Haiku Crazy contest sponsored by (Destroyer((Poet

DEb just rereading these fascinating haiku. Easter's is just marvelous. My other favs were Memorial Day, New Years, and the punchlines for St. Patricks and Thanksgiving. Congratulations. LUv, Andrea
