This post is a couple days late, what with a busy Thanksgiving weekend, Christmas shopping, Christmas cards, working on family photo albums, and all that stuff. Our first Genre Haiku Challenge was posted on November 22, and with just eight or nine days of steam we managed to put together a modest but powerful fourteen submissions, which gets me all excited for this month’s Genre Haiku Challenge! In case you haven’t had a chance to check them out, here’s a roundup – in no particular order – of our submissions for your perusal:
