in a crib of straw
on a cold winter`s night
a king is born

on a cold winter`s night
three men bearing gifts
babe in a straw bed

a king is born
stars streaming in the sky
angels chant

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com

  2. The musical that Chaitanya wrote and directed last year was about the three wise men. I hope you can see that play sometime.

      1. Sreejit has written about the plays in the past. You’ve seen pictures on his blog although not excerpts. Oh yes, and I wrote about the plays in the post I did on Chaitanya’s birthday. That even had some of the music. That is probably what you are remembering!

        Yes it is so nice to be with my children here. I’ve written lots of posts about my experiences on this visit that I think you will enjoy once you are ready to read blog posts again. I’m so glad you are doing so much writing about your mom. What a great healing tool blogging is.

    1. Thanks…straw can also be kigo word for summer to me when I think of straw hats, sandals, mats to lie on the beach…also bales of hay…so I had to rewrite this bed of straw after writing Nature’s art…I had been holding on to that photo hoping to write a haiku since last summer:)
