100 haiku challenge, 4, 5, 6, 7

The holiday is incidental
Thanksgiving dinner
is now just a precursor
to Black Friday. Thanks.

Wake up

Sunrise. Coffee cup.
Steaming. Lift the cup. Inhale.
Sip. My eyes open.

What I see from my window in fall
Figs cling to branches.
No leaves for hiding green knots.
A bird's autumn feast.

The challenge of writing 100 haiku

Five, seven, five is
both much too long and too short
to say anything.
