The Long Anticipated: Haiku Hustle Results !!!

Thanks everyone for (a) playing and (b) being patient! I definitely will do another invitational/challenge because of the highly creative responses! I hope you all read the comments and saw the truly awesome submissions. I've added two new categories, since we had a few emerge :)

And without further ado...

Best Autumn Haiku
Author: Meghan A C
Title: Autumn Migration

Rain and cooler days
Spiders keep warm at my door
Warden or sentries

The captive attacks
Those lurking in webbed corners
Driven mad through fear

Toxic mist rises
Death twirling on silken threads
Free their prisoner

madly searching for "the one"
awkwardness ensues

Holes in all the right places
Wearin’ ‘em to church

Title: Grade School Woes

You're my new teacher?
Are you sure you're old enough?
Incredulity

Palm sweat, beating heart
Um, will you go out with me?
Circle yes or no

An emergency
"Miss, I've really got to go!"
Plight of the fifth grade

"I need a Band-aid"
Finger in pencil sharp'ner
Teacher: "How and why?!"
