I adore anything Halloween related! The poem was off to a good start, just not long enough. Then again they say ," always leave the audience wanting more." I just put down a book of Hauku because they were to short for my liking. But I also can't read extremely long poems. Bah! What's the perfect medium, I don't know!
I might head out tonight and write sitting in an old graveyard! Hey don't judge me, clichés are clichés for a reason!

welcome to the short poem train. For more info see the OP.
Abridged Fauxku Choo Choo guidelines for lazy people:
1. Any TINY poem of 1 to 4 lines (or a 5 line limerick) - does not have to be haiku-like.
2. Poem includes 2 significant words from the preceding one.
      (Tense and plurality may be changed -- homonyms, other inventive wordplay, is winked at.)
3. Poem reflects some aspect of the previous poem (encouraged but not obligatory).

also:
4. Copy last poem and repeat it above your poem in your own post.
5. It's OK to play with yourself. (Post replies to you own poem.)
6. If the previous poem doesn't fit the guidelines:
      Either mention this politely, or continue on as if nothing happened,
      or use the poem before it, or strike off on your own. (See guideline 3 above.)
7. It's OK to add TINY extraneous (or not) notes.
8. Ray can do whatever he wants as he is the One True God (of Fauxku Choo Choo).
