Autumn Leaves

Holiday Haiku
by Allen McGill

snowy farmland
a red bird lights
on a fence post
snow falling—
with outstretched arms
children swirl
Christmas eve—
the sleepy elves
carried off to bed
Christmas eve—
she sits by the window
watching the snow
Christmas tree bonfire
sparks fly to mingle
with the stars
new years day
empty champagne bottles
on wet confetti
discarded firs
stacked at the curb
recycling truck
