Here is a pair of Christmas poems that I wrote for January 4 and 5. The first poem is a tanka, and the second is a haiku. The final two lines of the tanka are quoted from an anonymous nursery rhyme.
Eleventh day of
Christmas. Among eleven
pipers piping was
Tom, Tom, the piper's son. He
learned to play when he was young.
Twelfth day of Christmas.
Among twelve drummers drumming
was one little boy.
