ON THE SIXTH DAY OF HALLOWEEN...



Welcome to the HALLOWEEN HAIKU CHALLENGE! 8D

The challenge for this day will be to write a haiku! Your topic is Halloween. Get as creative as you feel is appropriate, and feel free to format your haiku to make it more appealing for the judges to read. 8D

If you don't know what a haiku is, I'll tell you. A haiku is a short poem. The structure actually can vary a lot, but for the sake of simplicity, I'm going to ask you to do it my way. Your haiku will be a three-line poem with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second line, and five syllables in the final line. Once again, make sure that your haiku is halloween related.

If you're still not sure what a haiku is, I find Wikipedia and Dictionary.com to be helpful sources.

Here's a haiku example:

My hair was purple
Everyone liked it a lot
My name is Spotty

There's no rhyming necessary, and again, haikus can vary in structure, but we're only going to look for the basic 5-7-5 structure for this challenge.

GOOD LUCK! <3

Come on in to the,
Witches' party. Don't be scared,
We won't bite. Hehe.


--------------------
"Somewhere, there was a tiny dream. Such a tiny dream it was,
No one knew who had dreamt it. This tiny dream began to think.
'I don't want to disappear this way.
How can I make people dream of me?'
The tiny dream thought and thought, and came up with an idea.
'I'll make humans get lost in me, and let them create the world.'

Ghouls come out to play
From the depths of hell they came
On all Hallow's Eve.

"Men have called me mad; but the question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence -- whether much that is glorious -- whether all that is profound -- does not spring from disease of thought -- from moods of mind exalted at the expense of the general intellect."
Edgar Allen Poe

The full moon is bright
As from door to door we go
Basking in the night.


--------------------
Living-

To touch the cup with lips and taste--
not drain it

To woo and tempt and court a bliss--
and not attain it

To fondle and caress a joy--
yet hold it lightly

Lest it become necessity--
and cling too tightly

To watch the sun set in the west--
without regretting

To hail its advent in the east--
the night forgetting

To smother care in happiness--
and grief in laughter

To hold the present close--
not questioning hereafter

To have enough to share--
to know the joy of giving

To thrill with all the sweets of life--
is living.

Blinded by his haze of
moonlit chaos, my heart ruptures
under the wizard's curse.

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy, it is the wine of a new procreation, and I am Bacchus who presses out this glorious wine for men and makes them drunk with the spirit.

-Ludwig van Beethoven
