what life shall we live
one of despair, one of hope
make your decision

A haiku a day for November 2026, written for Writing Month. Small poems, posted as they come.
November 2026
hollow is the soul
who never gets nourished well
easy to forget
wisdom’s not knowledge
maybe that’s why I keep on
making these mistakes
winter winds don’t drift
they howl, they wail, they moan on
they’re the harbingers
the river runs through
this parched, forsaken country
this is the lifeblood
wish upon a star
they said, as if that would help
only works in dreams
leaves drift on the wind
brief, ephemeral warnings
things don’t last, that’s fine
if someone would laugh
just to break this long silence
that’s all i’m asking
she swears she'll be fine
what does someone do with that
the sky is falling
