The Christmas Story in Ten Haiku
A couple of months ago, I read What is a haiku/ haiku challenge written by @lakshmi.
More recently, I was again inspired by @ericvancewalton with his IMPROMPTU HAIKU Vol. 6 (Holiday Edition plus Book Giveaway) to try my hand at a haiku. (Please go there to read many fine entries, and also my own).
Today, I wrote this Christmas haiku.
For @lakshmi and @ericvancewalton, With Appreciation: A Christmas Haiku

Come, heeding stellar beacon,

Did you enjoy this post?
Eric's haiku contests are fun. A while back when @cheetah gave her familiar intervention, I popped off about three haikus as a reply. It was fun, and got me a signed book.... sitting right in front of me now!
The greatest gift nere
Came forth from the virgin fair
But hind the great stone.
Nice! How are you doing, my friend?
Better than I deserve... much better. :)
You're climbing the ladder here. Pretty soon you'll pass me!
Ah, but I'm working too hard at it... A little compulsive at times. But I have an ever-growing list of things I want to write about! ;)
Yeah, can really suck you in. What do you do first thing in the morning? What do you do last thing at night? Do both answers rhyme with meme?
My writing is slow right now cuz I'm focused on other things. I am in the middle of a series I need to finish too.
I actually did a post on the topic the other day:
True Confessions of a ☁️Steem Junkie☁️
I was a little disappointed, because I thought more people would "see themselves" in it... ;)
I feel so honored that I inspired you to write haiku. Here is one for you:
