conserving energy
at the North Pole —
after the Christmas Eve flight
each of Santa’s reindeer
turns off her blinking nose

.

About my choice of pronoun “her” I found out by googling that Santa’s Christmas Eve reindeer are all female because males woujld have shed their antlers before winter!

bright winter days

A double haiku since I didn’t post anything yesterday:

bright winter days —
soaking up sun
a single white swan
floats
across
the
pond

~

bright winter days —
splash!
a tiny flock
of baby swans
follow their mom

new squishy-soft carpet

It’s gotten way late here as usual so while it’s still today, here’s another haiku from my Haiku BooK for Mom. It’s about a time after 25 or 30 years dh and I had the whole house recarpeted with a great buy we found at a place called Remnants and Rolls that had lots of new left-over carpet for cut rates. We found some that we really liked that was just exactly enough to carpet the whole house plus I asked them to lay double padding:

new
squishy-soft
carpet —
walking
sinking
with tiny cat feet
