Carpe Diem Haiku Kai’s December theme, Let the Music Inspire You
coverlet of snow
cottontail hides under hedge
sunset paints sky pink
bells jingle on horse harness
as white flurries chase sleigh home

Light a candle on this Christmas Day
We watch with eyes wide open.
What does a shepherd know of Light?
Messiah behold
Let all nations be told
All: The Christ child has given us LIGHT!

Light a candle on this 4th Sunday of Advent
We watch with eyes wide open.
What does a shepherd know of Peace?
God’s comforting word
in dark valley still heard
All: Since Christ is our Advent of PEACE!
O little town…

“You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.” –Isaiah 55:12
Everyone lives in a little town
obscure village, speck in space
lost in universe we are but dust
Creator sees, our father knows
us too intimately, enters a virgin
(god in a womb) angels sing glory!
He came and is coming still to
every little town, knocks at door
will you let great JOY move… inn?

Hanging out at dVerse Poets Pub with Lillian’s theme: It’s all in the timing…
freight train slows slightly
unmarked crossing ahead
pick-up driver approaches
eyes on cellular de-vice
engineer lays on horn:
whaaaaaa – whaa – whaa!
conductor squirms/gasps
“We’re gonna hit him!”
“Whaaaaat?!”
oh deer! in headlights stare
driver brakes in nick of time
dull thunk… huge iron horse
deflects truck like a pop can
spins away from death’s rails
truck and driver leaking fluid.

Light a candle on this 3rd Sunday of Advent
We watch with eyes wide open.
What does a shepherd know of Joy?
Exiles follow Lord
Until kingdom restored
All: So Christ is our Advent of JOY!
