Halloween Haiku

an eerie old house abode for disgruntled ghosts - waits expectantly halloween party by invitation only - come at your own risk costumed guests arrive unaware of ghostly hosts - ignorance is bliss at the midnight hour the haunted house comes alive - lurking ghosts appear human screams abound ghoulish spirits shriek with glee - party in full swing silence greets the dawn - shrieking spirits now at rest but where are the guests?

Hi Kim,.....congrats are in order, I see..How in the world did Poet Destroyer judge this very competitive contest? I would have been pulling my hair out. I think the strongest part of your haikus are the last lines of each one..a great pondering mischievous pause in each one. So playful and eerie. Congrats to you. Gwendolen

Oooh, Hauntingly delightful, Kim. If I come at my own risk should I bring my own poison or will the "ghoulish spirits" provider the beverages? Best wishes in PD's contest! Love, Carolyn
