No silence this night
The eve before Christmas Day
Excitement abounds
2.
Silence reigns before
The bells peal out their refrain
Announcing the news
3.
Snow crunches underfoot
Breaking the night’s silence
Moon shine lights the way

You are a poet and I didn’t know it. A very nice poem. A lady of many gifts to give. It is “a good thing” (that’s Martha Stewart and I’m sure you know) that I happened upon your blog.
In my “About” I call myself a poet of little merit–I like to write poetry,but feel that I am not “deep” enough to write true poetry — but I am glad you liked the haiku
Lovely poetry!
I would definitely say you are a poet!, Or certainly poetically inclined!
I really enjoyed the third haiku! I sounds like something that would be written in a holiday card, or scribbled and framed in a coffee shop. 🙂
Adieu, scribbler
You have given me an idea–I make some of my cards, so now I have an inscription – thanks –LouAnn
My pleasure! I would certainly love to buy them.
Adieu, scribbler
