Haiku hope 25 – Room at the table?

Hi everyone and welcome to another Haiku Hope as part of the COPE campaign.

This time I’m focussing on the stress we all think about at this time of the year – other people. Christmas is something I talk about often, in fact, I find it one of the most hopeful times of year as well as one of the most stressful.

This haiku is dedicated to the things we worry about at 3am on Christmas Eve when it feels like every other host on the planet is asleep, with everything fully organised, and you are the only one left without a plan.

Room at the table?

How many people

should we have over this year?

All who make us smile.

Remember if you need more distractions then there are jokes on my Hold Humour page, as well as haikus on Haiku Hope, awful poems on Crap Poems and odd language in Weird Words. I also have a page dedicated to stress hacks and other ideas to try if you need a distraction within the COPE campaign section of this website.

Thanks for visiting 🌲
