I honestly think that this is the best (or at least the cleverest) Haiga/Senryu that I have ever created or will ever create. If I were smart, I would retire while I'm ahead.

Helloween 2021 Day 2: Stranger

 

Image by Nguyen Dang Hoang Nu on Unsplash

A stranger in a very strange land

But is the stranger a danger?

Could the stranger be in danger?

Does the stranger bring a plague?

Ebola or COVID or something worse?

From where does the stranger originate?

Good relationships may form if we extend ourselves

Happiness can come from unexpected sources

Innocence is lost when unfortunate risks are taken

Just how do we know if a stranger is innocent?

Killers can have handsome faces

Lovely hearts beat in unbecoming bodies

Maybe we cannot make assumptions based on appearances

Nobody reveals all of themselves all at once

Only those with nothing to hide are open with the truth

Perhaps it is best if some things remain hidden

Quiet in the dark depths of our secret souls

Revealing too much can erode illusions

Sweet dreams fade when punctured by reality's pins

Time will tell if the stranger presents danger

Until then, be polite and pretend

Vainly believe that all is well in the end

Wait and see what waits behind the veil

eXit, eXhale

Your time will come before you are ready

Zipping through the years with the stranger just behind

the notes you need

Evidently, I'm not ready to wrap up the Haiga party yet. Today I have a splendidly gloomy Choka for you inspired by the Six Sentence Story prompt and by the resulting post from Six Sentence Stories' Ghostess with the Mostest. After all, who could fail to be inspired by a post including a video from the mighty Maiden, especially when the song is entitled "Hell on Earth" and I frequently wax poetic about climate change?

The October Spooky Writing Challenge is a go, but I'm using that in a few of its incarnations for slapping out stories. I am using other writing prompts and the images that I find through either pixlr.com or Pixabay for my own October poetry month, or, as I like to call it, Helloween. 

This is by no means an official challenge, but if anyone has poetry or stories that they'd like to share this month, you are welcome to do so in the comments.

I'm not sure what's happening with Morgan, who usually hosts OctPoWriMo. I'm concerned about her.
