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

Added:

sleepless again

I doomscroll through Trump zombie

and GAGA ghosts

Added:

this ghostly halo ...

my old friend's head

ringed by spiky strands

of white hair glittering

in Halloween moonlight
