Doris Culverhouse Poet Haiku

Winter

The puppy shivers
a hip breaks in a fall
flashing lights retreat

Chills run down my spine
warm hands caress and liven
smoke rings blow

jingle bells
car trips and carols again
bloated stomach

sled rides
slippery steps caution
mistletoe kisses


**Eleventh place win in the serial haiku contest!!

Merritt Waldon September 29, 2010 at 6:20 PM wow.. I really enjoyed this poem.. mistletoe kisses..mmmm very good.. I like it because those two words together have more than one meaning... the holiday tradition of course, also mistletoe being a poison,,, and third a great healing herb... Wonderfully written.
