twisted shadows creep
into yards and fertile minds…
   autumn moon on trees

      ~~20 Oct 2014~~

on halloween eve
apple bobbing with grandma......
false teeth on apple

smiling carved pumpkin
advertisement of toothpaste......
grandma's false teeth

HALLOWEEN  IS  HERE  .

GHOSTS  HAVE  THEIR  GHOULISH  NIGHT ,  BUT ....

" ALL - SAINTS-DAY " AWAITS  .

In the shifting air
the sweet scent of candy corn
candle wax burning

All doors are open
an ancient mystery lives
I bask in its glow

Autumn's, veil, misty,
Intrigue prowls-horror’s echo,
Halloween's chill creeps.

Masked-truth’s cleaver guise,
Secrets whisper ‘mongst shadows,
Fear stalks-night’s cruel jest.

The devil trembles
Feeling the autumn wind's rage
Children eat candy


Red mask covers eyes
Blind to first fall carnival
Her pockets picked clean


Nevermore  lovers
Halloween murders-blood found
Quote the black raven

pianist sits still;
blood flowing down
keys going off-key

pumpkins and witches
will be ending October
welcome November

full moon
reflects on haunted house
eerie silhouette

Carving to free souls
night before all Hallows Day
tradition they prey

Scarce candy in bowls
night of fright or time to say
a treat or foul play

Written for a Contest, HALLOWEEN HAIKU

Last Minute Halloween Costume
Toilet paper wraps;
Costs less to dress as mummy,
Mom thinks it’s funny!

witches, goblins, ghosts,
terrifying creatures,
out for Halloween

Don’t try to come out 
of the magic broom closet 
on Halloween Night.

Ghost and goblins roam the streets
              happy waiting
 for a child to come by then suprise

At the pumpkin patch
We pick apples, drink cider
Life is simple there

In a violent world
trick-or-treaters may not come
M and Ms live on

Someone's at my door
Late night wearing a clown mask.
It's not Halloween!

Halloween Haiku
(9.7.10)

Suburban parade:
A night to transform yourself,
and beg without shame.

Subsequent morning:
Pillowcases wear make up-
Wrappers and trinkets.

The Thanksgiving porch:
Mouth with one neglected tooth-
The jack-o-lantern.

Bright, orange, white, flicker.....
Two black eyes, one dark mouth viewed,
I'm the flame inside

They trim the flesh out
Stubby children's hands; entrails
I'm the flame inside

My face-like windows
My removable roof-top
I'm the flame inside

Pumpkin seeds as teeth
Candle light escapes eye holes
Goose bumps in the dark...

I may look crazy,
but this is just a disguise...
I shop at Target!


For "Going Halloween Haiku Crazy" contest sponsored by Poet Destroyer ~ A.

The night of the witch
goodness blends within evil
doorstep innocence.

Pumpkin head alight
wandering the eerie streets
alley cat startled.

Bats doing their thing
every night of the year
Halloween sick day.

Bewitching hour 
Full moon brings the afterlife
To our door again




For Contest : Halloween Haiku

It's halloween night
Everybody trick or treat
Candy for the kids

Night falls and shines th'moon.
As senses ignite, I stir,
yearning for live flesh.

dressing up in costumes

ring doorbell say trick or treat

bags fill up with candy


                  P.R.Deremer

Snow White dripping blood
Gory faces dripping slime
Stand up get the Cross

fractured fairy tale
garden leprechaun is smashed
halloween vandels

ghosts and Goblins BOO
trick or treat so much candy
happy halloween

In the hallowed woods,
leaves dance in the air, quiet
as the cool wind blows.

gimme some candy
or bread would be better
for teeth and piggy bank

Footsteps on the porch
Princess, witch, and Bieber stand
Trick or Treat they say

small creatures stand and knock
parents in shadows watch Jack's toothy glow
dreaming of good times past

Halloween is here,
a costume and candy cheer,
frights and scares are near.

Black rain and thunder,
graveyard tombstone shifts-
Stumbling through the streets
