Weird regalia
Pumpkins leering on the stoop
Celebrating spooks

Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte

Hi
🙂
Hello
How are you doing
Pity my next door’s cat isn’t there 🐱
Definitely. A cat would add much to the Halloween theme.
A great prelude to Halloween!
It puts me in the spirit, too. Thanks.
What a fun Senryu (Haiku), Viva. I always loved Halloween. I think it was the opportunity to pretend you were something or someone else for one day. Great creativity as born from those days. Your Haiku sums it up perfectly for me. ❤
Thanks Colleen. I enjoyed following your prompt that required using synonyms. Without you this Haiku/Senryu would never have been created.
LOL! It was created in Japan, hundreds of years ago. This is how royalty entertained themselves – writing Haiku, Senryu, Tanka, and Haibun. I’m glad we’ve adapted these forms for American English. ❤
Thanks for the background. ❤
Love the imagery of leering pumpkins!
Thanks. I later thought ghosts and goblins were missing, also a black cat, but 17 syllables have their limits. 🙂
They certainly do. (It’s a good thing. Imagine the trouble the Mob would get into with more! 🙂 )
Halloween is such a fun topic. Your haiku is spot on!
Thanks t.l.
voices… trick or treat
waited… opened door… voices
AILEEN… there’s no one
My pranking electrotonically minded grandson, full of surprises! But hey isn’t that what Halloween is all about.
Noted what Colleen had to say, to add my pennyworth of knowledge The Japanese consider all their festivals as kigo, as they represent, or indicate a season. Halloween an autumn/fall celebration, hence it is a kigo, plus pumpkin itself is kigo. Oops me penny has run out Pumpkin eyes leering muh haha! love it!
I like your comment!
Thanking you kindly…
