7.  Silence of Winter

Footprints in the snow
Broken by branches breaking
Longing for springtime

[Saga55]

6.  A Screamed Christmas Carol

I tossed Santa’s hat
His bells rang as he ground deep
I sang his praises.

[Saga55]

5.  Let Christmas in

If you find the key
To open the festive door
Carollers will sing

[Saga55]

4.  Christmas Cheer

Santa is coming
The warm fuzzy feelings real
Christmas Jumper too

[Saga55]

3. Hibernating

He's curled up in bed,
Protected from frost and snow
And waiting for spring

[Saga55]

2.  The Tree

A tall Christmas tree
Shines and glitters in the night
Warm tears fill my eyes

[Saga55]

1. Unstressing Santa

Mrs Claus giggled
Santa’s cock dipped in sherry
Tastes most delicious

Haiku – This ancient form of poem writing is renowned for its small size as well as the precise punctuation and syllables needed on its three lines. It is of ancient Japanese origin.
It contains 17 syllables in 3 lines of five, seven, five. Haiku poems are typically about nature and usually about a specific season.

Syllable  –  a unit of pronunciation having one vowel sound, with or without surrounding consonants, forming the whole or a part of a word; for example, there are two syllables in water and three in inferno.

Still not sure –   when you say a word, usually when your mouth or tongue moves to a different shape … that's the next syllable.
There are 3 syllables in the word “syllable”, 2  in “fire” , 1 in “wood”

Got it?  Fantastic.
Now you can write your Haiku –
Total 3 lines 17 syllables,
line 1 has to have 5 syllables,
