White chalk graffiti on innocent azure sky careless corruption *******
I hope you enjoyed this haiku, it’s been a while since I’ve practised my short-form writing. Feel free to have a look around my other work too.
Take It Easy,

Welcome to day nineteen of the Haiku Advent Calendar. I hope you’re all well. The days are going by too quickly.
I’ve donned a Christmas jumper to take part in the regular writing group I attend today so I’m festive and warm, like a good mulled wine or cider.
Now for today’s haiku…
Starlings murmur like
prudes gossiping on bare trees;
the air is frozen.
Thanks for reading and joining me today. If you missed it I was part of the cast of the Christmas Episode of Eat The Storms Poetry Podcast yesterday if you want something to listen to today. The Spotify link is below;

Welcome to day sixteen of the Haiku Advent Calendar. How is everyone?
Have you bought all your gifts? Or are you shopping over the last weekend before Christmas?
Today’s haiku …
in moonlit snowfall,
carolers sang ‘Silent Night’;
footprints lost to time.
Thanks for joining me today. I hope you’re enjoying the Advent Calendar, and, can join me again tomorrow.

Welcome back to the Haiku Advent Calendar on day fourteen.
I can’t believe it’s only ten days until Christmas Eve. Time is racing, so I won’t waste another second.
Today’s haiku is…
holly berries glow,
giving warmth to winter;
snow hiding thick ice
Come back tomorrow for another festive seasonal haiku as part of the Advent Calendar.

Welcome back, it’s day nine of the Haiku Advent Calendar and we can almost talk about the weekend.
I’ll be putting my tree up and decorating but there’s still plenty of time to think about that.
Now for today’s haiku …
The gritters are out
combatting strong Arctic blasts;
roast beef for dinner.

Welcome to day seven of the Haiku Advent Calendar. It’s Tuesday, I hope yesterday went by quickly for you.
A couple of people have asked why I’m doing this calendar. The main reason is to get back to haiku writing regularly, as it is a great form to play with.
Today’s haiku for you is…
This mulled wine is
heating up our shopping trip;
black ice on Grey Street.
If you’ve missed any so far, I’ve linked to days 1 through 6 below.

I’ve been receiving some lovely comments on twitter (@PaulWritesPoems); I have really appreciate the support.
Today’s Haiku is…
Nearby chimneys
wheeze grey in the winter wind;
candlelit reading.

If it’s your first day here, you can catch up on Day 1 & 2 by clicking here; Day 1 or Day 2.
Now for today’s haiku…
The robin chorus
can be heard by the hedgerow;
scents of spruce indoors.

Today’s haiku is a little earlier than day one simply because the 1st December was hectic!
Frosty pavements
glisten like gems underfoot;
the fire needs feeding.
Remember to come back tomorrow for another Winter or Christmas haiku.
Take It Easy

So, I’ve decided to write a haiku over the next 24 days to celebrate Winter and the run up to Christmas.
So for day number 1 …
Waiting for snowfall;
Our cheeks are burning from
Winter’s cold breath.
Come back tomorrow for another haiku.
Take It Easy
