Caryl Muzzey Poet Haiku

Halloween Night

silhouette visage 
scare awake the silent dead
on Allhallows eve

weird sounds penetrate
wildly woods so dark and deep
making one cower

a cold eerie chill
overtakes a breathless evening
waking dead spirits

fears manifest great
sullenness apprehensions
scaring one to death

little children lurk 
the streets full of kindly houses
with fun faces that awe

Carolyn Devonshire September 9, 2010 at 12:46 PM Great images of the spooky All Hallows Eve, Caryl! I play games with the kids -- get dressed up like a witch with lots of green makeup. Sometimes they run away! The older ones are on to me though. Hope all of the streets are filled with "kindly houses" this year and the little ones have a safe Halloween. Best wishes in the contest. Love, Carolyn
