5. Two one stanza haiku; one three stanza haiku.

Edited on Thu Apr-03-08 09:35 PM by 1monster

Roof over our heads
Food for my children to eat
So little to ask

********************

Mail bring many bills
Pink slip in pay envelope
Wolf stands at the door

********************

Newpaper story
Hidden in woods behind mall
A small tent city

Tent city dwellers
Evicted by mall owners
No place left to go

Tents their only homes
Destroyed by the evictors
No more tent city

*********************

on edit: My haiku was based on a newspaper article, so, per your clarification, they don't quite make the grade.
