full moon calls softly,
“come outside on deck tonight,
shadow dance with me…”
who can resist her silver?
moonstruck orcas leap with glee!

Sometimes you just gotta play…magnetic poetry! (First time I used one set of words, no “adds”.)

Kristjaan at Carpe Diem encourages us to write a “full circle” haiku series using twelve words (bold), one per line in listed order, on a wintertime theme.
hoar frost on window
breath of heaven’s mist on trees
morning light sparkles
scent of mistletoe
cuddle under soft blanket
fireplace embers glow
poem of december
children praying for first snow
clouds whisper promise
lights on Christmas tree
wrap gifts in shiny paper
smile to see bright star
soft as butter

perfect pink pearl
warm sleeping bag
infant’s smooth skin
cashmere sweater
rose petal’s scent

spirit’s gentle whisper
