Pumpkins and ghosts gone
Now on to Christmas season —
Wait, where’s Thanksgiving?!
Halloween
This is for Frank J. Tassone’s haikai challenge. This week, the prompt is, fittingly, Halloween. I usually enjoy this holiday and especially All Saint’s Day the day after. this has made me realize that I still need a costume!
Funny-faced pumpkins
Laugh in death’s disfigured face
This Halloween night
Scarecrow Scared
This is for Frank J. Tassone’s haikai prompt about scarecrows, and it also fits the DVerse challenge about polyptotons. As usual, I am late to the party, but we can keep poetically partying!
Scarecrows search for brains
Hot October days scare us,
Climate-change harvest
Hunter’s Moon
Waiting for nighttime
To reveal a companion
On this search for love
For Frank J. Tassone’s haikai prompt this week. Click here for more info. It turns out that this month’s full moon was last night, and I didn’t realize it, though I did look at the moon. I wrote the above haiku yesterday. Then, this morning, upon reading that the “Hunter’s Moon” was actually yesterday, I wrote this:
I saw you last night
My desired companion,
Sans recognition
Red Leaves
Leaving — red-eye flight
Reddening eyes from crying
Autumn rains — red leaves
For Frank J. Tassone’s haikai prompt about fall foliage / red leaves (momiji),
Heed the Storm
For this week’s “Heeding Haiku”, we are writing about stormy weather.
Denying the storm
An unwise course of action:
She lies in the eye.
