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, . . . October 8, 2022

Loaded question. Best answer: Children were blinded by THEIR masks...fun Senryu, Miss Janice. :o)

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.
