Awesome poem. I like how you start with October and end it the same. October does fly by every year. "Cackle, brew and fly on brooms", is exactly what I see all witches doing. Good luck and thanks for sharing.

I can't believe it is almost the end of October. The ghouls and goblins will soon be at play. Proper syllable count for the contest rules. Best wishes in the contest, my friend~Debbie

Nicely written haiku with the appropriate word count. Your colors are great for the October theme. Its a little more difficult when you can't use a picture, but yours is very effective. Carol

A very clever poem about the high point of October (besides my husband's, daughter's and granddaughter's birthdays). Oh, isn't Halloween fun?
I love the way you introduced the witches, then had them close out October. Smart poem!
Have fun in the contest,
Rhonda

October witches are different from any other witches. Even though they cackle, brew, and fly on brooms they seem benign and maybe even fun since Halloween is their scene. These images definitely represent October and the form of the haiku seems accurate.

I like this, though I wasn't in love with the use of October in both the first and last lines. The flow is good, the syllable count is good. I love the feels of the raw words in the middle line.
May I suggest replacing the first "October" with "Halloween"? Same syllable count, no repetition, still meets contest requirements. Just an idea.
Good work.

A well constructed haiku that will do well in the contest. I like the fact that you didn't use any artwork as it gives the reader the freedom to conjure up their own witches.

Thank you so much for reviewing, I truly appreciate your comments and of course the stars. It seems everyone so far is pleased that there is no artwork- so now I am glad the contest said not to use any. Thanks.

Thank you so much for reviewing, I really appreciate your comments and of course the stars. I agree that October flies by faster than any other month but have no explanation as to why except maybe it is basically mid fall/autumn and so enjoyable that time goes fast. Happy Halloween.

I think so...the holidays always seem to fly by...Happy Halloween...xxoo Linda

NIcely fits the Halloween theme and the October theme. It gives one of the beings most known for Halloween legends and that the time of year on the calendar.
Good luck and keep writing
