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.
oh, this has a nice, cosy feeling...
oh, now i see in the notes that's what this renhay is about (seems to convey it well, though)
Christmas Eve
the sleeping children
heavier this year
Thank you all... and Seasons Greetings!
Bill: Ha ha! So true.
Seasons Greetings and a Merry Christmas, Masago.:)
