Haiku: Hope
Hope Meltdown brings a light — we’re aware it’s a brief truce; it keeps us going.
Haiku: Glace
Glace Her defiant stride, unperturbed by force of frost — knowing Spring will come. Wow. I have never had such a hard time with a haiku. Maybe I wanted it too much?

Genre Haiku Roundup 2013.12: Epic Fantasy
The long-awaited genre haiku roundup for December 2013 is finally here! Better late than never, I always say – I have my reasons but no excuse to hold it off for any longer, so without any further delay, here goes:
To date, the December challenge has received an epic 51 responses from a variety of talented haiku hackers, old and new. Haikus are so brief, I bet you could get through them all in one sitting! This month, Lathrop Preston of Laith’s Ramblings even went so far as to paraphrase The Hobbit in nineteen haiku, with a guest submission by Cimmy of Cimmy’s Stories. That is an epic read unto itself, and I’m so glad he stuck through and finished the project.

With a little more than two weeks to go, this month’s Genre Haiku Challenge is biography, and we already have ten submissions. A biography haiku is so simple, and the person can be anyone in the world; who could you haiku?
Also, a note on submission: I’ve recently changed the settings on this blog so that comments can post for up to ninety days from the date of posting, so feel free to link up to any previous challenges.
