Halloween - Haiku

Just playing with words in haiku form on the theme of Halloween.


Poem Artwork

October is over

Just a few dark hours left

And ‘tis All Saints’ Day

 

This is Halloween

Celebrating the dark side

Of things left unsaid

 

From ebon branches

Owls hoot out their advice

To trick-or-treaters

 

Hissing and shrieking

Black cats go prowling about

Darkened back alleys

 

As darkness descends

Bats emerge from hideaways

Soiling the night sky

 

In cemeteries

Souls rise up from ancient graves

And wander about

 

It is the birthday

Of feared and unwanted things

Hidden in the mind

 

Imagination

Is the most important gift

To share on this night

Bats/rats/ all part of Halloween, darkness descends and the children go out for their treats, and tricks which aren't very nice often.

These individual haikus actually fit well together to form one big poem. You've done a great job here. Each haiku has something to think about and it holds plenty of meaning and even depth in some cases. Thanks for sharing. Nicely done!
