Tanka Tuesday

ML:
clumsy error
we broke the tiny saw blade
pumpkin carving blues
resolute autumn fervor
pumpkin finger painting instead

***

CW:

a slip of the knife

turned a frown to a huge smile

Halloween goblins

***

ML:
ripening gourds
seeds ready for roasting
plentiful harvest
last-minute costume ideas
warts for witches’ noses

***

CW:

crunchy salty treats

pumpkin seeds at the ready

cleaning, washing done

***

ML:
fireside marshmallows
melting onto graham crackers
season of the s’more
cheery trick-or-treaters
like king-size candy bars best

***

CW:

gooey extra sweet

toothbrushes before their bed

this night treats abound
