[Hibiscus during sunset by Andrea Mazzocchetti, from a google search]

a bowl of cereal sits
on the table uneaten

sooty chimney
milk and cookies for Santa
should he make it down

filling the family room
where a Christmas tree sparkles

carols and laughter
in a corner of the room
Nativity scene

yawning on New Year's morning
strains of Auld Lang syne remain

a push pin fastens
a new calendar affixed
to the wooden door

HAIKU PROMPT: challenge you to "revise" a haiku. That haiku is one by Matsuo Basho (1644-1694), the haiku-poet that I see as my master:

in the twilight rain
these brilliant-hued hibiscus -
a lovely sunset.

a red hibiscus
setting sun oh so lovely -
this rainy twilight

So happy to be back posting from my laptop at home through my new WIFI system.

Tis the Season. Season of Advent, my favourite season of all time, where hope is never fruitless for God's promise is realised in his love for mankind surely.

On the First Sunday of Advent: the first Advent candle is lit, which is purple, symbolizing hope. It is sometimes called the “Prophecy Candle” in remembrance of the prophets, especially Isaiah, who foretold the birth of Christ. It represents the expectation felt in anticipation of the coming Messiah.

A happy Season of Advent to all who observe.
