David, thanks for noting that — I'd somehow forgotten to include the prior publication note when I published this. I've added it to the main part of the post now too.
Brightly lit reminder of the fragile hold we have on existence, the season fraught with loss as well as gifts of life, a surprising and stunning image, and a bold one.

Christmas Poem
there is a man
on a street corner
with a sign
that reads
“Jesus is the Reason
for the Season”
my wife suggests
we take up
the opposite corner
holding a diagram
of a tilted earth

Thanks Dylan – I didn't want to annoy anyone at the British Haiku Society. I couldn't get my comments to work, either, so I may have posted twice.
Thanks for publishing – good to see it on your site. I have been enjoying the other work.
Cheers!

I like the haiku and the image works well too.
Christmas has been the season of emergency services lights and alarums.
