A poetry prompt? On Christmas Day? Ain't nobody got time for that!
Let's keep it short and sweet. Today, we're writing ho ho hoku: 5-7-5 syllables of happy holiday (or, bah humbug!) 'ku for your fellow Toads. Do as many as you like; there's no word count. Just have some fun. Post whenever you get a chance. No one shall receive a lump of coal for being late.
Merry Christmas, Toads!

One of favourite catch phrases!
Thanks for making this a real short option, MZ. It's 1.30PM my time. Presents unwrapped, cooking marathon complete and I'm slipping into my Christmas day food coma... However, I shall endeavour to put together 17 syllables (between today and tomorrow). A challenge is a challenge, and I have so much to be grateful for.
MERRY CHRISTMAS ..........
this one is a challenge for those of us that are long winded... :)
Merry Christmas all...
Merry Christmas, and especially to Mom Zee for waking up with Santa and starting us off so early!! Good job!!!
..
p.s. My 5-7-5 is 10-10-10-10 today. I did the ditty before I read the instructions. Sorry.

Haiku and Xmas together on the same stage at last. Welcome to hell!
Merry Christmas everyone! Thanks for providing inspiration for writing, even on Christmas day!
There are lots of them
who wants to fly free
the mouths are moving steady
Merry Christmas to All!
My poem, based on haiku form, but I never bother to count my muse's inspiration. :)
I meant to note that my poem is 17 syllables but not 5-7-5. I'm thrilled to see so many poems already in the line up after my post-Christmas-lunch nap.
Thanks for this inspiration, Mama Zen! Blessings!
Heck! Where did you find this GREAT tune? I've got to share it!
Haiku for the Imaginary Garden
Peep! When Real Toads speak,
peep! Seasons stop to hear, look,
and praise the Garden.
Merry Christmas, toads.
Love, Susan
Love the video!! Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays or just a simple Have a beautiful day. :)
The video is a gem MZ ~ Had a good laugh while writing my haiku ~ Happy Holidays to all ~
hope y'all have a good day.
MZ, that's some vid. I had time for that.
Hey MZ and Kerry-- hope all well. My drawing, I confess, a bit rushed--or the iPhone painting part! Though I am really having a very relaxed time at this point. Thanks for all your fun through the year. k.
Hope you guys had a little fun with this. I just got home from my Christmas travels, but I'll be around as soon as I can.
Here's another called
"The Day After"
Returns to the store?
I don’t have time for that! That’s
What Good Will is for.
HO HO HO… I am playing but will be LATE. It has been the busiest Christmas ever - I always thought it would be less crazy as the kids aged… but they stay up so LATE and want to go to movies and malls … I'm exhausted (in a good way)
