Notes About The Poem

To Mask Or Not To Mask

Wee trick-or-treaters
scream at the sight of my face.
Should I wear a mask?


Not really sure "senryu" is the correct classification! Oh, well, . . .

It's a good Senryu in my opinion on all counts. Senryu might be humorous and about people, but Haiku is for the natural world.

Naught to worry as - like a randy man - they are only interested in the treats! Aloha!

Ah, that is the question...Not to worry, Janice, I believe senryu allows for a good deal of leeway. And "screaming" is half the fun on Halloween, anyway.
