our haiga calendars for November 2008

By David A. Giacalone

This evening — October 30 — is Haunted Refrigerator Night (brought to you by WellCat).  That means, besides checking out that strange glob in my fridge, we need to tell you about our two haiga calendars for the month of November 2008 before the new month arrives.

As you probably already know, haiga are pictures (paintings, sketches, or photos) that include a subtly-linked haiku or similar poem. Last year, we created two free ?haiga calendars? for 2008: the ?artsy? Giacalone Bros. Haiga Calendar 2008 (with photos taken by my brother Arthur) and the nostalgic fka Haiga Memories Calendar 2008 (with most shots snapped in the 1950?s by Mama Giacalone).  The poetry is written by your Editor ?dagosan?.  Here are thumbnails of the calendar pages for November, and the related poems:
