Haiku Friday: The Ornament You Love Most
For Christians (and people who celebrate Christmas for other reasons), decorating the tree is a special annual moment. For many families, there are ornament collections that build up over the decades, and many of them have special meaning. My own tree is covered with the amazing ornaments that mom has made over the years. Other favorites were less expertly made. My parents, for example, have a Big Fig ornament, handmade by a nine-year-old Eric Frakes out of paper, that has lasted 41 years:
Let's haiku about favorite ornaments this week.... here, I will go first:
My mother made it
A simple silver star, a loop
A memory shines.
Now it is your turn... just make it 5 syllables/7/5, and have some fun!

Stoked Texas Santa
presides in a sleigh pulled by
three fat cockroaches
Four year old artist's
imagination melded
with Waco real life.

His belly was large
San Jose plastic Santa
He slipped over
A Fifties Red Bulb
On the tree.These were fat years
Then we became farmers.

She was an angel
High Heeled Pumps and Low-necked sweater
Sal wouldn't let me
Take her to bed,so
I put her near the tree to
Steal furtive glances
occasionally
I might cop a feeling of joy
And much merriment

Mama always kissed
Him before tenderplacing
Him on the tree...gold
Glimmered wings,pink cheeked
Rosebud mouth. He had come from
Her Mama's putti.
