Halloween Haiku Wednesday


This theme puts me in mind of a homemade sign I once saw that said: 'Cold Callers not welcome'  under which I wanted to scrawl: 'But warm ones appreciated'.

Halloween Haikus by Madeleine Maddocks




 

My haikus (which are not meant to rhyme) use the traditional 5, 7, 5 syllable structure. There are many scattered throughout my blog posts.

I knitted this cute little Vampire Bat
from an Alan Dart pattern

    I love your knitted vampire bat! You're so clever. I can never get the tension right. LOL.

    I really enjoyed your Halloween Haikus, especially the first and last.

    Thanks Ellie
    Yes I'm like you with sagging knitted toys, but this pattern uses smaller needles and works first time! :O)

    Love all of these my friend. I remember this one old lady in our neighborhood. She made all the kids do a trick before she gave us any candy and it was always the best candy in the neighborhood :) Love the photos as well. Happy Halloween :)
