insohaimo encouraged poets to write one formal poem every day of the month. It had been my intention all year to do so again in 2008, but somehow November snuck up on me.
Due to my seasonal job as an achievement test scorer, I haven't had a lot of free time to devote to the challenge, but I have scrounged up a few haiku in the interim. I have several days to make up, however.
Five make a full house
in a county turning orange.
Eight leaves soon to fall.
Three pair and two queens
sleep together, side by side.
A constellation crests.
money and a mouth
change into paper ballots
moths from a cocoon
tomorrow starts today
stomach pangs of hope
break starlight into daylight
