The exercise:

Write two haiku about: the real estate agent.

I haven't forgotten about the yearlong prompt. Okay, I totally did. But then I remembered!

So we'll get back to that tomorrow.

I thought you'd been planning what you were going to do in the prompt; though I'd have reminded you next week if you still hadn't mentioned it. There's a lot to try and conclude in these last two months.

The real estate agent
Selling dreams, he's an
Unreal estate agent. Buy
Clouds and castles here!

Keep looking; these are
Expensive. Something much more
Rundown would be great....

Greg - nah, not so organized as that. And yes, there's a lot of ground to cover between November and December...

Really, really like your first haiku this week. Easily my favorite :)

Here's a couple of my own. The haiku prompts are proving difficult to pass up.

Mine:

Real estate or fake
Estate, he can sell almost
Anything to you

Like an ancient god
That has eternal patience,
You can't out wait her

I see you put your own acrostic in this time! Nice :)
I think I like your second better this week for its subtle allusions and the reference to an ancient god; it feels a lot more haiku-like that some of ours sometimes end up.
I will wait for you on the Dream Kingdom I think; I worry that I write too much anyway and drag the story in my own direction!

Greg - yeah, that's fair. I'll try to work something out this weekend so that I'm not holding things up too long.

Oh, in response to another comment you made: I strained a rib muscle by coughing too hard on Sunday. So every time I cough now it's like being stabbed, which is fun. Thankfully my cough is finally nearing the end of its run.
