Haiku 99

children in costumes
excitement in the cold air
trick or treat night smiles

laughter heard on the street
children hurry door to door
footsteps in fresh snow

Chilin' out gathering treats. LOL. Most of the time here it is a little hot on the inside of those costumes. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K

thanks Judy. We lost mom on Christmas day and buried her on the 6th. A hard time but she was of strong faith and left us each a letter and poem to ease our hearts. Thanks for your comment. love phyl

Thank you S1 for your comment. It was nice to have so many children come to the door. They just love it when you guess what they are. love phyl

Oh, I love picturing this - we didn't get any trick or treaters (we never do in our street) but I can share the fun with this. Hope you're feeling & seeing better by now, my friend x

Thanks my friend. It is hard to look at a screen for to long. The first eye is not as good as the second but it is only recent so maybe expecting to much. Cannot get an eye check for 2 months after surgery so that is Jan. New eyes for the new year. Hope all is well your way. love phyl
