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

Powerful moment.
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.
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!
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.

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