Red at Christmas, in Haiku

I have been channeling Ms. Claus lately, tonight knee deep in wrapping! Blessings to you all this week. 

Red at Christmas, in Haiku


Spirit of Santa
the beard usually stops itching
embrace belly breaths

cranberry cuddle
knitted wool in a red throw
orgy of cardinals

pinheads on holly
among prickles are holy
christmas cactus blush

depression or drab
a scarlet scarf at the neck,
December cure all

out in the weather
everything is forgiven
we become Rudolph

red is the last spice,
the naughty among the nice
everyone needs some

believers and non
power wedge of the rainbow,
everyone climb on

bold blessing our blood
may this season remind us
each born a savior
