There is another way to interpret this more than fine and well written haiku, perhaps children should be afraid and not too captivated, to learn that white does not always triumph over black. Or should I just say Happy Halloween. Worth another reread and most certainly another 10+. Take care Rose Marie and thanks again.

You know what- -this poem sent a cascade of shivers down my spine. that last line - such a simple line- just two words but it sent me straight back to the first line's use of " ghastly" . This is clever writing, my friend... subtle, until it leaps at you like a panther out of a tree. 10+++++++++++

Another one Rose Marie where the title alone lures me in to revel a poem that is tinged with a little darkness. And a Haiku poem is so well written with terrific imagery. 10++ and added to my dark vault. Than you Rose Marie and I wish you well.

The scarecrow not only scares birds and rodents away which attack the crops in the field but fascinates children also! It acts as a sentinel guarding the field! A casual scene turned into a beautiful haiku!

adorable to read that the scarecrow fascinates children. It is important for the land what the farmer has just sown, it frightens the birds and keeps them away. A very delightful read. Thank you so much for sharing.

It may be scary for the birds and beasts but is interesting for the children. Short and sweet and meaningful write. Loved it.
