This is the first Haiku I have written in about 17 years so please forgive me!
This was fun and now I’ll be thinking 5,7,5 for the rest of the day!! LOL!
You can see more Friday Haikus here

You’re good…Congrats on your first Haiku….
pretty cute!
I liked it!
Good one! I posted a Haiku a couple of days ago- I didn’t realize there was a Haiku Friday. 🙂
Lovely! You don’t need to brag though. *shivers in the Kansas cold*
Great ‘ku!! You’re a natural.

great Haiku! it’s so weird to think of it being that warm at Christmas time…of course, i live in Canada! 😉
nicely played!!
I’m particularly grinning at the last line…. Merry Christmas Ya’ll! 🙂
Wow! That was great! I’ve never been able to write Haikus. The rhythm is just too difficult for me.
Very good for a first attempt. And by the way, the “Royal Banana” award is the cutest thing ever!
You did great for your first one!
I’m jealous and sad about your weather. It is crappy here, raining and cold. But, always living on the East Coast, I don’t know how it can “feel” like Christmas without it being cold and/or miserable out.
I do enjoy flip flops thought!!
HOUSE- i love that one. i just didn’t list it because it’s on break til January. That wouldv’e bumped Real Housewives, which now that i think of it, should be my dirty little secret. 🙂
I never miss a Extreme Home Makeover, so technically it’s not on my DVR!
LOL. It’s getting hot again here too…
Great post! I can totally hear you reading it aloud without an accent of any sort.
Hey, that was good one! I haven’t done one since probably college….way too many years to count!
Judith ~ LOL! Thank you, seriously. When will they learn it’s not us with the accents 🙂
You’ll start thinking in 5-7-5 all the time soon. And, I am loving our weather. We can go out and play in this 80 degrees. So much fun!!
We are actually down in the 60’s here today. No chance of snow, but at least it’s not 80.
Of course it is four more days until Christmas. We could be under a heat advisory by then!
Great ku. 80? Wow, I thought it was tropical here at 30 degrees!
Merry Christmas in Texas!
I have to say I walked 5 blocks today wrapped in a scarf and mittens. 41 degrees and drizzling. I loved every minute of it.
I think I would love a Texas Christmas, too. I’m easy to please that way.
Thanks so much for your comments. You always leave me smiling!
Yes, I appreciated my dog saving me from the excess calories, my husband… not so much.
YAY- I’m not the only person to use “y’all” in a haiku today!!
Send some 80 degree weather here please! 😀
Great haiku! But I am sooo not for the warm Christmas! Shouldn’t there be snow – and white (or tan) sand doesn’t count!!!!
Happy Holidays!
I’m so impressed! Your first time was most excellent and I look forward to more, and more, and more, and more!!
XOXOOXMy ‘kus
This was a good Haiku and I can relate, as I am also here in Texas – LET IT SNOW – I don’t want to go to the beach. Take care. Kellan
Eighty? We’re hoping for a high of 30 on Christmas!
Great effort. As a writer of prose, I have the highest admiration for all my friends who write haikus.
Keep smiling
David
I loved it…Merry Christmas to you and your family!
