glare
luster
threat
All that work this summer has begun to pay off. We reached $5.28 million in donations by the end of the first day of our campaign, and we're over $6 million as of right now. Here's hoping the next 28 and a half days bring us to another amazing total. I am so thankful to work for a company that has such remarkably generous employees.
glare and empty threat
luster of child's broad grin
ice melts on vase shards
gold's glare blinds the king
wish granted hides deadly threat
wealth's luster now dulled
glare of the luster
who covets his neighbor's wife
threat to both their souls
Well, you've done it again, with some fairly tough words to weave into a haiku. And congrats on the fund raising. That's amazing in this economic climate.
