Halloween Senryu's

Cobwebs lay in wait
Ghouls and witches sneak on by
This night it watches

Souls like fallen leaves
Run and dance on Hallow's eve
October's last rites

Trick or treat they say
For candy apples today
Mini demons knock

Rituals from Past
Meant to keep evil at bay
The masked night dancers

Ceremonies End
A nervous old house now stirs
Witching hour comes.

Excellent James ... each and every one! I must say though ... I really liked the "mini demons" line!   Great writing, gets me right into the Halloween spirit!  

Best wishes,

Bones rattle in chains
against Parker's heart so cold
in silence of haunts




Jest in words of me
bow to talent of master
of hallows haunting
