The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Headless Horseman's Head

Large skeletal hand Holds the great headless horseman’s Head, a huge carved gourd A pumpkin that glows within For all of Halloween night

So is that story popular for you too? I always enjoyed that tale as well. Good topic for your tanka.
