Halloween Haiku: Poetry Gong 20
Zen in loud darkness
filling an empty pumpkin
with stranger’s candy.
Standing on the stoop
quick glimpse into stranger’s lives
smell their dryer sheets.
It is not chocolate
not the pleasure of disguise
door-to-door is treat.
Pray for lone pumpkins
run through chill autumn shadows
be open to ghosts.
*****************************************************************************
It's all I've got. Well, four haiku and a chocolate high. I'm trick-or-treated out! Happy Halloween!
