night of ghosts
bumping in the bare branches
the lost kite

    Very happy to see this Holloween haiku by Jane. It is perfect.

    There was a time I saw a lot of abandoned kites in trees, much rarer now.

    Glorious opening line, wonderful alliteration acting and becoming as subliminal onomatopoeia, and all down to a single lost kite, or maybe not [enter Vincent Price's voice].
    :-)

    warm regards,

    Alan

    Beautiful memory is a kite !!

    Weather of ghosts,
    Or of souls ,
    Night keeps record.
    Kite is in safe hands…
