Forgive my lame attempt here. Things are scary enough for children and grownups as they are. But I managed three short haikus to garnish the fright story the image dragged out of me. I hope you enjoy it.
A little dark poem is where I landed today. Hope you can recover from this one.
With bitter regret, mine heart’s been laden Since Hallowmas when thou our bed-vow broke And now perjured be roam I loath-burdened Waiting for the day this prank I do choke…
A take off the Roundabout form. I broke the rules but did the best I can do today. Please let me know what you think on the day that marks the end of summer, the harvest, and the beginning of the dark time of the year.
I missed four days of the 13-day prompts and worked some magic to get this one ready and get to you without delay. I hope you like it. Happy Samhain.
I'm honored to have an old short story turned poem, “On Hallows’ Eve, A Nightmare,” published at Spillwords today, October 24th. Won't you read, please. Thanks.
This one will probably send shivers down your spine if you’re a parent. So be very afraid! Forgive. Not all kids are allergic; some are. So I needed to pass this warning on to you. Happy & safe Halloween.
Ok, this one is scary. And obviously too long. But it came to me in a dream that now I've passed on to you. Stay away from the nightmares, friends. Happy Samhain/Halloween.
Another haiku, this time on Lazy Bones as per the prompt on 13 days of Samhain. Hope you like it.

There were far too many complaints from mothers of young children about this 1949 movie-- namely this 3+ minutes scene. Perhaps you too were one of those kids? Well, then this will bring you nostalgic chills. Just don't show it to the kids.
