Ornaments away / boxed, stored, but still brightening / hearts and memories.

“Haikumages” are short poems (mostly haiku and senryu-style) combined with images (mostly original photographs and graphics) by Russ Murray.

    My father used leave the Christmas ornaments and decorations up until they collided with the next Christian holiday – Easter. The tree would be so dry and brittle that breathing hard anywhere near it would send a shower of needles to the floor. It was a strange tradition that died with him, but his children laugh and remember it each year as we put our own ornaments away (early)…

    Cheers,

    The Haikook (Russ Murray)

    Beautiful warm photo, to go with your end of Christmas haiku. I see a lot of things, sadness, nostalgia, cosiness and two glasses!
