Special Feature: Halloween Haiku for Your Reading "Pleasure"

My Dear Readers:

It’s Halloween, everyone’s entitled to one good scare. -- Brackett, "Halloween," 1978


a skeleton
rattles the door ...
autumn wind

Neena Singh

All Souls’ Eve  --
tipping the spirit level
this way & that

Sandra Simpson

halloween night
a thin veil
between two worlds

Bernadette O’Reilly

halloween twilight
army helicopters
fill the sky
 
Roberta Beary

his scythe dripping blood
the Grim Reaper has stepped
right out of my dreams

shrouded head to toe 
in red a girl skims ghostlike 
through the dark, scything

the buzz and flicker
of War Cemetery's "War"
Eve of All Hallows

Chen-ou Liu


To conclude today's Special Feature post, I would like to share with you the following scarily funny haiku:

night closing in
the gap-toothed smile
of a toddler ghost
