Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, you can mark out the 12 days of Christmas with a haiku every morning. Or begin your 12 days on the solstice, or on your birthday, or whenever. 12 days 12 haikus. Bonus points for writing at the same time every day, or after the same walking route every day.

3 lines. First line 5 syllables. Second line seven syllables. Third line 5 syllables. Describe a hint of a moment in time, preferably in nature. No irony, only basic adjectives, no feelings. An observation, a glimmer.
