What a month it has been! The 2014 November PAD Chapbook Challenge (via Poetic Asides) is officially over, but now a new challenge begins. The end-of-challenge competition involves whittling a collection of 30 poems down to 20 and organizing them into a chapbook.
My initial goal of completing 30 Haikus in 30 Days turned out to be easier than I anticipated – my muse was very inspired throughout November, (thank goodness!). When it was all said and done, I ended up with 45 haikus. Perhaps, the bigger challenge will be choosing only 20 to be part of the chapbook!

Leaves change green to brow
pinecones drop from the branches
so it is to be
Life begins again
where autumn left its tidings
so it is to be
II.
First snowflakes fly
the lake falls silent
