Munificence & Bonhomie – Friday’s (and Saturday’s) Word (s) of the Day Haiku

This week’s words of the day go hand in hand! And they each represent the best of this season..light, love, joy, peace, happiness. May you know munificence and true bonhomie this holiday and throughout the coming year!

  
True munificence
Is not found in giving things
But Love, peace and time.

  

They practice kindness
Those diplaying bonhomie
Know true happiness.

A Surprise Limerick

 
“Surprise me!”she often said.
Two words that filled him with dread.
No matter the choosing
he ended up losing.
Now she does the planning instead!

A Limerick for the Season

  
Some will light a Yule Log on a wintry Solstice night
Others a Menorah or Advent Wreath of candlelight
Merry Christmas some will say
Or wish you Happy Holidays
All sentiments of hope for peace, with wishes warm and bright. ❤️

Heartbeat Measures

  
We measure our lives
In syncopated heartbeats
our days are numbered.

A Haiku in response to Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge #76. Prompt words Sing & Day. I was tempted to try Ronovan’s new poetry format, the Freku, but holiday festivities are jealous for my time. Maybe in 2016. Happy Holidays to all. If you’d like to read more, click HERE.


Cover Haiku

FullSuperMoonAugust15

“Go! I’ll cover you.”
The deadly last words one hears
Under friendly fire.

Details were covered
Every moment rehearsed
Except for the rain.

They played for hours
Covered by a makeshift fort
Under the table.

The star-studded dome
Covers the neon city
Competing light shows.

Dust covers each inch
Of the long forgotten home
No one lives to tell.
