By the dried-up stream
naked, pale, and penniless
lazy bones scared stiff

Sammi’s 13 Days of Samhain prompts for The Thinning of The Veil appeal to me,
and, time permitting, I intend to tackle the list with a haiku. Thanks, Sammi.
But let me warn you that these Halloween pieces will be on the light side; as
scaredy-cat as I am, I don’t want to scare myself. Phew, it’s not easy being me!
If the muse collaborates, I might even share the haiku on social media and
the Medium Platform. Yay! Check out the list. Won’t you join too?
Thanks for reading, everyone.
Drop me a comment, please. xoxo.
I wish you miracles.
I’m a simple woman who dares to see the beauty in ordinary. I’d love to connect with you and like pen pals, I want something beautiful to blossom between us. Will you join me? Selma is my middle name. Its meaning—peaceful, complete, are euphoric affirmations I like to think of myself as having. They compliment the joy I feel when I write. I sincerely hope you decide to join me on my writing journey. I Wish You Miracles.

Omg that’s scary ..I love your poem though. Sweetly succinctly done.
Yassy, hope you can recover from this one. 😂
Lol

Pitch perfect, the haiku complements the photo. Is it okay to grin and shudder at the same time though? Cuz I did lol.
Your verse reminds me of some news stories (In other countries) that have discovered ancient bones that help to rewrite history with their discovery. I’m not one for scary anymore these days either 🙂
Rewrite history. Oh my
