Delightful and clever Halloween poem. Great picture to enhance your words. It actually looks like the leaves are jumping back on the trees.
Good luck in the contest.

I like the image of leaves being frightened and jumping back onto the trees. This is a unique poem that creates the leaves as a character.

Well, now that would definitely be a very interesting sight to behold, might even freak one out. Good poem. God loves you and we do too.

Much gratitude to you author for sharing this wonderful haiku with fans, myself and other readers/writers. A very well done haiku, and very explicit and very poignant. The imagery and the color is fantastic but you know I true haiku does not have a picture however yours complements your poem and vice a versa. Good luck in the contest. You have a good one and God bless.

This is an ironic event that can show what true terror can cause.
You can make it rhyme and still keep the syllable count if you change eve to night.

Comment from Brocha1
very effective use of the 5-7-5.
The first two lines set the mood very well.. The first line set the time, whilst the second line jumped straight into the feeling of the fright. the only thing that didn't feel quite right was fright being raw.

Your meat can be raw; your nerves can be raw, the fright is painful and urgent - raw. Always looking to find words to describe overly used words and phrases. Try it some time! And, thanks for reading.
