Renhai Reflections 59: The Night Before


The Night Before

A Renhai by Vaughn Seward (vs) & Janice Thomson (jt)

Winter bedtime —
the last child tucked in
for the night. /vs

Rising smoke from chimneys — /vs
distant mountain veiled in fog. /jt

Blazing fire —
children's gifts wrapped between
sips of cocoa /jt

Well, I'm going through all my haiku blogs, reading before I break for Christmas and this is my last, and how apt.

I feel thoroughly warmed and cheered, especially by that last one. As a whole it catches the thrill of the night before from both child and adult perspective. Good to know it can still be a fun time.

Best wishes to you and yours for your christmas celebrations, and see you again afterwards.
