Santa's Belt Buckle and the Moth Finder

Santa's Belt Buckle and the Moth Finder 

snowy mountain peak

in my outstretched hand

the landing of an eagle feather

cotton balls never taste sweet

but with mashed potatoes on my glasses

the new kind of Christmas Market

seal burger on ice

bluest blue outside

the first snowflakes

under the dark Helleborus

a hole through the world

thimble word's echoes 

knife and heather

a wreath for an angel

gold only for goblins

claret lips and a mistletoe 

the trapped moth in the snow globe

Die Inspiration zu diesem haiku kam aus der Facebook Haiku-Gruppe 'haiku-like' und ist die Idee von Eléonore Nikolay: 

Meine Bücher dichten ein Haiku

1. Schau dir die Titel auf den Bücherrücken in deinem Regal an und lege drei davon zu einem Haiku aufeinander.

2. Fotografiere sie und stell das Bild hier unter Haiku-Challenge 2 ein.
