The scurry of mice,
The dreadful one-ounce monsters,
In the pre-dawn hours.
*************
May it be that all your Halloween scare were no more serious than scurrying mice! 😀
Challenge was to use synonyms for fright and night in haiku. Colleen offers many other poetry forms. Go get acquainted if you do not know her.

ABOUT ME
Hello. To various folks I am Neat’nee, Mom, Grandma Neta, Gramma, Aunt Neta, Aunt Noni, Aunt Neno, and Aunt Neto (lots of varieties from little nieces and nephews). To some I’m more like “Didn’t you used to be my teacher?” or “Don’t I know you from someplace?” To you, perhaps, I am a Fellow Blogger. Not “fellow” like a male or a guy, but “fellow” like a companion or an adventurer. I would choose to be Grandma Blogger, and have you pull up a chair, my website before you, while I tell you of some days of yore. I have experienced life much differently than most of you. It was and is a good life. I hope to share nuggets of appreciation for those who have gone before me and those who come after me. By necessity you are among those who come after me and I will tell you of those who came before. Once upon a time in a little house on a prairie - oops, change that lest I commit plagiarism - and change that “house on the prairie” to “dugout on the prairie.” So my story begins...
Love the second line in your haiku, Oneta. So humorous. 🙂
😀
Well done! I love it and your choice of words was perfect! ❤
Thank you.
Love your haiku, Choice of precise words is the writers gifting. My only Halloween scare was watching the news and seeing the appalling things children were getting up to around the world where this money-making celebration is allowed to be fostered. (Parents behaving badly as well) Not funny but destructive and nasty.
My favorite holiday is coming up next. Thanksgiving. It does get much attention between Halloween and Christmas.
