Snow is falling
it’s cold enough to settle
at minus 1 on the mercury
but it doesn’t stop
the brass band on the corner
playing classic carols
for all to enjoy
I find myself singing along
to The Holly and The Ivy
and it feels like Christmas
in my soul.
Thanks for reading the poem for day 7 of the Advent Calendar of Poems.
What’s your favourite classic carol?
Let me know in the comments…

Welcome to the penultimate day of the Haiku Advent Calendar. I hope you’ve been keeping up with them all and enjoying them.
Do you think it’s perfectly acceptable to be tucking into the Christmas food cupboard now. Who else loves Twiglets?
Today’s haiku is…
we made wool baubles
like snowballs soft and pure white;
the treetop star beamed.
Thanks again for joining me, come back for the finale tomorrow.
Take It Easy
Ho ho ho

Welcome to day thirteen of the Haiku Advent Calendar and the start of a fresh week.
I hope you’re weekend was fun, we put up the tree, had some mulled wine and mince pies and watched an episode of Only Fools and Horses. Cushty!!!
Today’s haiku is…
We startled the doe,
boots crunching through frozen leaves;
tender snowflakes fall.
Thanks and remember to come back tomorrow for your next installment of the Haiku Advent Calendar.
Take It Easy

It’s Saturday and day eleven of the Haiku Advent Calendar. I hope everyone has a great weekend and fits in something festive.
We’ll be decorating the house and watching a Christmas film at some point. Probably Elf, Polar Express or Santa Claus: The Movie.
I’ve also got a few things to be getting finished and sent off before Christmas week itself so I’ll be a busy elf for the next eight days.
So, without further ado today’s haiku is …
the deep moor snow drift
hides the squirrel’s nut supply;
log fire at the pub.
Thanks for reading and remember to come back tomorrow for another haiku.
Take It Easy

Hey, thanks for coming to read today’s haiku. I can’t believe it’s already five days in. December is speeding past.
The soft cotton snow,
betrays the foxes footsteps;
Christmas lights twinkling.
Please return tomorrow for day six. If you’ve missed any of my Advent Calendar Haikus, they are still available to read on my site.
Take It Easy
Paul
