Going Halloween Haiku Crazy

howling through tombstones
winds evoke resurrection
spirits of those passed

‘neath the orange moon
cackling heard above the gale
witch flies through dark skies

bats make their descent
terrify trick or treaters
candy corn scattered

good, bad and ugly
creatures of All Hallows Eve
prance ‘cross leaf-strewn lawns
