I'm sorry that I missed this one. I should keep checking your port. I'm fascinated by your easy to read haiku with clear imagery. With many others I have to invoke a psychic power to translate.
Disemboweled gourds as Halloween mascots is a very clear and chilling image.
Congratulations on your win.

Halloween mascots
litter every porch and lawn
Disemboweled gourds

I really like the last line, disemboweled gourds.
Actually I enjoyed all lines in your poem. They flowed and mirrored each together.

Nicely done... Congrats on the ribbon. John

Oh, gourd! I'm not sure I have the stomach for this! Such macabre goings on in preparation for All Hallows Eve. It quite makes the blood run cold. Congratulations on your win in the contest!

I like the way you said "litter every lawn"; also, the description of gourds is good. Well done. You chose just the right words to make a superior Halloween haiku.
Indeed, the illustration works well for your piece.

Very nice presentation of picture, poem and color scheme here. I guess we do torture our pumpkins as we celebrate the end of autumn, death and rest of coming winter. But at our house we roast the seeds after disemboweling them.

Excellent imagery in the porch/lawn and gourds
with very good grammatical connection
and a fine Halloween satori line
Excellent picture to match
Well done

Your last line "disemboweled gourds" is chilling. It gives the poem an eery feeling.
Excellent use of words and lines that connect smoothly to form a clear scene and feel of Halloween.
