An Extraordinary Holiday [String Senryu]

by Khalid M Darwish   Jan 14, 2013


A Halloween night -
A fasting giddier witch
The central symbol

Feeling want to fly -
As skin rubbed sacred ointment
Smeared and blindfolded

Over land and sea -
Confused mind, sped pulse, numb feet
"Take your word and fly"

Carrying broomstick -
On foot or riding horseback
Vaulting over stream

Carving the pumpkin -
End-of-fall decoration
Beautiful Samhain

    Very beautiful since people seem to think that those who celebrated Samhain back in the days thought they were witches i think my history is a bit rusty but still very nice in bringing all the elements together my dear! :) 5/5
