Why Halloween Haiku?

Haiku, whether poetic or visual, implies the presence of something that’s not there. It’s not just a poem. It’s not just a picture. There’s something more. Nature. Memories. Feelings. It speaks to your heart. It speaks to your soul. Something that’s a part of you. This is how we feel about Halloween. It’s more than just a holiday and more than just a season. Halloween, much like haiku, promotes friendship and community, encourages the exchange of culture and shared experiences. It is everything and anything, and beyond. By merging Halloween culture with this fascinating ancient art form, I hope that Halloween Haiku becomes a place where people can celebrate and share in their love for Halloween culture, haiku, and more.

Halloween all the time

Welcome to Halloween Haiku! A blog for Halloween lovers.

Today marks the halfway point to Halloween. If you’re a Halloweenophile like me, right about now, you’re suffering from the Samhain blues. Luckily, I think I found the cure. It’s to celebrate all things Halloween every day and share the love for our favorite holiday with others. Within the haunted hallways of this Halloween blog, you’ll find things relating to Halloween, haiku, writing, poetry, photography, art, recipes, horror movies, scary books, and much more.  We’re still shaking out the cobwebs. So, pardon our dust. Feel free to comment and remember to vote for your favorite haiku.

there’s an ache deep in my soul
the Samhain blues
