A Week of Halloween Haikus
SPOOK-tacular haiku from my author friend Priscilla Bettis! 🎃 Happy Halloween…🧡 ~Bette A. Stevens 4writersandreaders.com
I wrote a Halloween haiku every day for a week in anticipation of the haunty holiday.
7
autumn dewy web
silken silver labyrinth
tiny fangs tarry
6
fall weather welcomes
delicate chills like icy
fingers on your neck
5
October howling
winds strum bare willow branches
werewolves howling too
4
ruby hourglass
nestles moonlit poisonous pearls
a hundred eggs stir
3
dead, curled leaves crackle
feet shuffle in night’s dark veil
the wroth witch cackles
2
fog smothers the ground
dropped leaves rot and mold, their stench
like an open grave
1
bat wings whispering
tombstones tumble, a haint weeps
bodies rise and lurch
Have a happy Halloween!
