Haiku Friday: Christmas Eve
Because covid has quarantined two members of my family far away, it is going to be a different (and sadder) Christmas Eve. But still I will make my chowder. I described that here about 14 years ago.
Christmas eve traditions... let's talk about those this week. Here, I will go first:
Chop and cut and cube
And mix and measure and pour
Let heat do its work.
Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern, and have some fun,

When we were little
They gathered, with drinks in hand
To assemble toys
As we grew older
So grew the gatherings on
Christmas Eve, joyful
The table spread with
Meatballs, cheeseballs. Oytser stew
Served from the kitchen
People milled about
Room to room, smiling, carefree...
Kids sneaking cookies
As the years go by
The kids begin to bring kids
The cycle of life
Conversations change
From jobs to retirement
Some have moved away
Some have passed away
Gathering happens no more
But memories remain
