Cannot quench the glow,
Cannot still the bells that chime—

Is you naked under my tree
You can bet the farm
That I'll keep you warm
And as happy as you can be!...

Making Christmas warmth.

Ring! Ring! Bells of Yule
and the golden peel they play.
May the message they tell
as they rise and swell
bring joy to your heart today.

Santa used our bathroom Christmas Eve.
And oh the Yule log did he leave.
Being in a rush,
he did not proper flush.
I believe it was the worst gift I received....

Burn the Yule Log for the return of the sun!
Source of enlightenment and wisdom.
Celebrate the Sol Invictus!
Count the sparks if you wish.
Happy Solstice!...

how still the sky
that falls between
rows and rows of white crosses

in snow white Yule marble
lies three,
known but to God

"No Greater Love"....
echoes
like Taps in the breeze....

Some people possess the proclivity
to build every Yule a Nativity.
They illustrate praying,
portray homage paying.
That’s it.  There’s no other activity....

Time short and little money

Is it Proper to say I LOVE Ewe to a sheepherder?
Is it proper for a lumberjack to say I LOVE Yew?
Is the Poplar the most Popular of trees?
Yule be surprised  when there are no Presence under the tree...

And before coming down even faceless,
God hails in jive knowing lots much,
not only picking quickly raw stardust,
to utter violent words: “Xmas, Yule, zzZZZ”.
Men naïvely outgrow Patriarch’s quotation....

Yule/Christmas
Obscene capitalism
Can best be observed 
At Christmas 

Midwinter festival 
Larder full we share our
Luck with our nearest

Christmas is the devil’s revenge
He was never invited
Now he gives us hell with glitter....

Owls
Through the
Lapland snows
See Santa hug
Children’s wishes in festivals of joy
Reindeer wait in barren birch through long nights
For Aurora
To string lights
In Jule

Is any other season merrier,
or more wonderful than Yule?
Christ, the Child is our Redeemer:
shouldn't we believe He came to rule?
Let's greet Him with songs and drums!
Let's follow the drummer boy who hums!

Yule Tide 

The pig
In the pen 
Is being slaughtered
To day 
Christmas starts
With a killing 
Some get 
Pork roast
Others get trotters 
 In the yard 
My neighbour 
Is hosing away
The blood
His sacrificial 
Duty done 
And I got a shoulder ham...

4 Senryu 

Child chews on duvet
Ciggy smoke from living room
Hysterical voices.

Bedroom partitions 
Eight layers of wallpapers
History smells bad.  

Yule remembered
Christmas tree flung into snow
Police sirens laugh.

After festivities 
We sell empty booze bottles
Go see a movie....
