Halloween Haiku

Tonight's Halloween
monsters are walking the street.
Witches and demons.

Ghastly shrieks and screams,
a fearful cacophony.
screaming "Trick or treat!

Moans, howls, flashing lights,
spider webs,  plastic black cats,
I laugh at my fear.


written for Linda-Marie The Sweetheart of P.S. "Halloween Haiku" contest

These are great fun. I'd be really interested in reading more about your last experience. It seems that everyone was good at dressing up it was as scary as that Buffy Vampire Slayer Halloween party, for real. ;-) Alan http://www.withwords.org.uk/comp.html
