Paperless Christmas

Being green we use
fabric bags old boxes to
wrap gifts. No trees die.

Christmas LED lights

Like laser pointers
they blind in red green blue as
they save the planet

Christmas cards

Photos we look bad
in. Braggy newsletter. That’s
how we keep in touch.

Abandoned haiku blog

My door open, but
the rooms are empty, thoughts like
forgotten relics.

Away too long

Stories always tell
of the one who wanders, then
returns home…like me.

Longest night of the year

Soon, darkness recedes.
But tonight I wrap myself
in velvet-starred black.

Silence

You don’t notice the
absence of sound until you
strain to hear something.

Unemployed Christmas

Can days be merry
and bright? Jobs – like ornaments –
fragile, out of reach.
