WINTER (UK) & CHRISTMAS ~ BRIAN ~ HAIKU & SENRYU

 

WINTER (UK) 2018 ~ CHRISTMAS (WW1) 1914

 

FROST on the Cobwebs 

transforms them to Works of Art

Awesome but Transient 

 

ICE layers the Pond

is it thick enough to skate ?

MUM will you try it ? !

 

MORE Christmas cards each

day !  No more space to put them ~

let\'s make a Card Tree !

 

Whose Birthday is it ?

JESUS ~ How old ?  2 0 1 8

too many candles !

 

CHRISTMAS 1914

snow in the Trenches ~ Singing

SILENT NIGHT ~ STILLE NACHT !

 

Thanks for listening ~ comments welcome ~ BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡

 

CHRISTMAS (and THANKGIVING) should be a time

of Peace & Goodwill to ALL ~ EVERYWHERE ! In 1914

the First World War was just beginning and the UK &

German faced each other in the Trenches in the Snow !

The Germans began to sing STILLE NACHT and the British

harmonised with SILENT NIGHT ~ same tune similar words.

They climbed out of the Trenches met in No Mans Land

shared stories ~ photographs ~ cigarettes and played

Round one of the 1914 World Cup. The OFFICERS did not

like fraternisation and ordered them back into the Trenches

to KILL EACH OTHER. One English Soldier said \"The scales of

War were lifted from my  eyes and I realised that the Germans

I played Footy with were just like me ~ with Homes & Wives & 

Children and I lost all incentive to kill them\". AMEN !      

 

Please continue to PRAY for the Citizens of PARADISE CA

They had prepared for THANKSGIVING and where preparing

for CHRISTMAS ~ When suddenly there whole Town was

burnt to the ground and many of their Neighbours & Friends

perished in the Flames. Being CALIFORNIA people from

the neighbouring Towns have provided Food ~ Shelter ~

Clothes ~ Schooling and Vehicles. PARADISE LOST will be

PARADISE REGAINED but it will take years to rebuild.

Please put California at the TOP of your PRAYER LIST ~ AMEN

Love to ALL ~ BRIAN & ANGELA🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
