Weekly Writing Challenge: Five Days of Haiku

Haiku number 1, for this week’s WordPress Writing Challenge. The goal is to write five between today – Monday, November 25 – and Friday.

Since this is Thanksgiving week here in the U.S., I’m probably going to focus on things to be thankful for – after a fashion.

(Actually, I’m Bummed)

Today the old drawer
Came apart. Should I give thanks
It lasted this long?

Weekly Photo Challenge: Unexpected

Surprisingly, this week’s WordPress Photo Challenge theme is “unexpected”.
