HAPPY NEW YEAR

the world descends on sydney
at this time of year
the locals escape to wherever
yours truly to the peace and quiet of the outback
away from the crowds

looking up at the milky way
on this lovely evening
i wish you all a happy new year
may 2018 bring peace and prosperity
to you all

away from the crowds
i welcome in the new year
with stars in my drink

Haiku Horizons

they named me
after the goddess of peace
a misnomer

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai - The Christmas Story

someone needs to explain
the christmas story to these kids
vicar is not amused

Haiku Horizons

silent night broken
santa claus caught nicking
the family silver

The Ride of the Valkyries

never underestimate
the cook bottle washer and nurturer
she is multi tasked

THE SILLY SEASON







christmas shopping
christmas carols
christmas cards
santas
crowds
traffic
noise
impatience
honking horns
planes overhead
noise
parking lots full
queues
to do lists
to buy lists
more lists
noise
christmas trees
tinsel
baubles
sales
shopping bags
more shopping bags
shopping trolleys
dance of the shopping trolleys
kids screaming
noise
thoughts racing
clickety clack
clickety clack
must get home
must get home
in one piece



door slams behind her
collapses into chair
quiet
peace at last
at least
for a few moments






Wishing Everyone
A Merry Christmas
Peace and Goodwill
  
Thank you for your visits throughout the year.

Friday Music Challenge # 18 - MLMM

Midweek Motif - Poets United

Celebration.





holiday celebrations
can be a lonely time
for those without family or friends
accentuating isolation failure and desperation

the lucky ones have a friend
a real friend
a true friend
it only takes one
and you can get through anything
