These are not the photos I was hoping to share for Christmas this year. I took these in February as a test run. I have my elf hat, with elf ears you can just about see, a musical Christmas themed tie (which plays Jingle Bells at the push of a button) and elfish glasses, but nothing much else that suggests I’m one of Father Christmas’s trusted helpers.

If I had been well enough . . . (sigh) then a reshoot might have produced a more tinsel filled spectacular. Nevertheless, I hope you like these!

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season, with Christmas joy and ho ho hos to you all. Kate

 

Paper Soul – Five Haiku by Rose Perez

You’ve nothing to say
In silence, you still taunt me
Quiet mockery

I stare back at you
A frozen smile strains your face
Love’s gone; there’s no trace

Limb by limb, I rip
*Raguel, I call onto thee
Set my vengeance free

Arms, legs, hands, and feet
My ex-lover’s confetti
Scattered piece by piece

You’ve broken my heart
Your paper soul I’ve now cleaved
I tear you from me

*Raguel is known as the Angel of Vengeance.

My apologies to Rose for not having acknowledged this piece sooner. It is based on a scrap of a photobooth photo which I found discarded in Melbourne, many years ago. Thank you Rose!
