First of all, thanks to hay(na)ku creator Eileen Tabios for citing me on her Facebook page! Our mutual friend Vince Gotera alerted her to my poem-a-day project of all hay(na)ku poems, and she posted my opening day poem, "Election Season", on her page. I also told her about the hay(na)ku contest back in 2011 on Robert Lee Brewer's blog, of which I was one of the winners - she wasn't aware of it till now.
Today's prompt from Mr. Brewer: Write a poem with a number in its title. There's only one number that dominates this year, and that's the year itself:
2020
entering
we had
no perfect vision
looking
in hindsight
that brutal judge -
we
should have
been more careful
we
should have
seen the injustice
we should have
saved the planet
