Kabuteng P.Ink K. Poet Haiku

Spirited Procession

fog's fingertips creep
moon silently cackles, grins...
soft glow on blackness

twisted trees moan, creak
pumpkins' wrinkles choke, dig deep...
lit up distortions

shuffling, shifting steps
spirited procession, screams...
smiles flash, trick or treat!  





*** Sept. 9 2010
for Linda-Marie's Halloween haiku contest :)
