Haunted Haiku

1.
“No, mommy. No! NO!”
Screams calm to peaceful silence.
Wipe blade clean of blood.

2.
Apples fall again.
Night howls. Scarecrow sees
the hunter stalk by moonlight.

3.
“What is in this stew?”
The waitress smiles. Let him try
to forget me now.

4.
Walk of the undead
through midnight cornfield. They count
count count till they win.

5.
Satan and demons
here, God and His angels there.
Good folks on both sides.

6.
Midnight crossroad grave,
eternity sings the dead;
low down guitar blues.

7.
Learn three magic words,
never go broke: “Stick ‘em up!”
The hanging tree waits.
