Three Haiku and a Limerick

My friend was reading through the NaNoWriMo forums and came across the idea of writing one’s novel synopsis as a haiku, which involves distilling all 50,000+ words down to seventeen syllables. Read hers here. I tried it myself, coming up with one haiku for each book in my series:

Three Short Poems

Here are three short poems for October, concerning Octobery things like emo poetry, spider webs, and blackbirds.

Dust Witch

Dust to dust, you call my name.

Summer's gone and turned to ashes

in

    fall's

            flame.

Now our train is pulling in.

Dandelions blowin' in the wind...

Mini Placeholder Post

Sorry for the lack of post last week. I came down with a head cold and was pretty out of it and also started working a second job. I was going to post a spooky poem last Monday, but I’m still putting the finishing touches on it, so I’ll post that tomorrow (and will perhaps move my permanent post day to Tuesday? I’ll consider it…).

Inktober?
