Boxing Day Haiku Friday....
First off, happy birthday to Swissgirl! She is a boxing day baby, and all of us here at the Razor appreciate her contributions here.
As for the haiku... let's do free-form four line poems, with any syllable combination you would like. You can pick the topic, though these might work:
1) The best part of Christmas
2) The gift
3) Swissgirl's birthday
4) The importance of good socks in snowy, cold weather
5) Pan-hellenic relations
6) The UCC
7) European vacations
8) Caesar Augustus and his decree
9) The Spanish Medievalist in winter
10) Sledding
Here is mine:
Two kids run by, laughing
I dodge them deftly
They take no notice
Christmas.

The best part of Christmas?
The traditional afternoon nap!
Bracing, therapeutic, mandatory.
A "deep and dreamless sleep."

Like the proverbial train wreck
It is a sight so horrible
Yet I cannot turn away
Mark's brilliant Christmas Card is here
It is a sight so horrible
Yet I cannot turn away
Mark's brilliant Christmas Card is here
There are three boxes
Still under the tree
No names, unclaimed,
Keep them 'til next year?

Look out below!
Next year, Cancun.

I drove all day
Got to Dallas late
Found friends and family
That is what is best.

Grandparents on both sides,
Nephews, Aunts, Uncles,
They laugh with Glee,
as my kids open noisy, irritating toys

Swissgirl: girl, girl; girl.
She is. Aging is girlifying
when passions run deep.
Emotion is life advancing.

Santa apparently forgot to bring
Spencer a firetruck he asked for.
Maybe Santa saw the 3 you have?
All I want for Christmas is a job.
Ho Ho Ho.

They... really make that?
Perhaps Microsoft is
Smarter than we think.

My pan-hellenic relations
Led to a distressing
Bout of discomfort
Fixed with antibiotics.

Wow I am speechless
A haiku topic just for me, and
Razor recognition?
What great gifts!
Other favorite presents
are the ones I give that others like
A purple cap perks up
My aunt who's sixty-six . . .
Another great gift was
All the family in
My aunt's big kitchen,
Women cooking, drinking wine,
The lone guy
Talking up a storm,
Pacing till the food's done.
And such wonderful food . . .
Barbecue, sweet potatoes,
Corn casserole, foccacia bread
Cole slaw, pecan pie,
North Carolina nectar . . .

The Medievalist has learned
How to drive a snow blower,
Icy drifts of packed snow,
Are no match for 5.6 horses.
