Bloody entrails lay
On the garden path today
No candy for you
empty pumpkins stare
little footprints ending here
maples wearing masks
Candle flickering
Jack-O-Lantern toothy smile
Orange flesh burning
Not My Type?... Oh
Wafer-thin garlics
Strung tight on popcorn necklace;
Fuck off, Barnabus!
The sharp knife cuts deep
A smile on orange appears
To draw you nearer
finger by finger
now comes the winter season
a chill up the back
Aqua Candy Blue
Clear Wrapped Halloween Treat? No-
Menthol Lozenge Trick
An orange shadow
looms over suburbia
death will call tonight
a friendly menace
hoards of waist high archetypes
shout ultimatums
the corn is yellow
pumpkins are cut to likeness
neighbors be giving
Dance of the Skeletons:
a haiku cycle
SERVING
pole through the innards
eyeballs swimming in the soup
yum! tasty or what?
COSMETIC SURGERY
if pumpkins had hands
they could hold a rifle in
that knife wouldn't carve
LOSING CAUSE
zombies don't date much
their only pick-up line is
i could eat you up
NEW CUSTOMS FOR OLD
a five year old witch
let's not make her a briquet
let's give her candy
DINNER DATE
vampires love a bite
neck is the favoured target
lower once a month
PROTOCOL
ghosts may walk through walls
they may even walk through you
but not each other
SOCIAL WHIRL
the devil's charity
barbecue--never know who
you might be eating
DINNER DATE(ii)
flies feast on the field
battle's a stimulant to
fly economy
hairs rise on my arms
scared and sweating profusely
spirits all around
Fears
you can dream them up
scary monsters under beds
can you dream them down
First Date
running through the field
chased by a steady mad man
fun night out gone bad
Winds blow doors ajar
while vampires eat the smooth flesh
and spirits' souls scream.
falling leaves from trees
the spirits of the dead ones
hurry to your house
Down Under
Where the worms do munch
on the detrius of life
is where we all end
