Tomas Tranströmer's "a wild boar plays the organ" - Haiku - November 28, 2014






under the snowdrifts -
the tinkling of tiny bells
children's bright laughter

© G.s.k. '14



then the leaves whispered:
a wild boar plays the organ.
and the bells all rang

© Tomas Tranströmer


This poem by Tomas Tranströmer reminded me of one of my favorite Christmas books by Terry Pratchett ... "The Hogfather".

  2. Glad you're enjoying the film and I'm happy you'll be sharing it with your Grandson, I think I'll put it on next week when we decorate the tree wit my son. ... it's in two parts btw and was produced by the BBC, I do so love their programs ... really great! I'm also liked the haiku it just jumped on the keyboard after reading his haku! ...
