Halloween and Autumn Haiku Poems

These are our Halloween and Autumn Haiku poems. We hope you like them. Happy Halloween.

Halloween
Big scary spiders,
This cant be much scarier,
This is Halloween.
By Niall

Halloween
Witches to be feared,
Voices whisper from the trees
This is Halloween.
By Tom

Witches
Witches on their brooms,
Frankenstein is out tonight,
Don't stay out too late.
By Anna

The Shock
On Halloween night,
My shadow really scared me,
I got such a fright.
By Mya

Halloween
Witches fly around,
The ghosts come out everywhere,
Happy Halloween.
By Amy

Halloween
The broomstick will fly,
Under the witches headstone,
What will happen now?
By Chloe

Autumn leaves
The leaves blowing down,
Whishing and whooshing around,
Making the trees bare.
By Siena

Your Worst Night
Halloween has blood,
The witches make spells slowly,
Your worst nightmare.
By Ellen

Spiders
Cobwebs in the corner,
Beware of big spiders spell,
Goodbye, Stay Alive.
By Emily

Halloween
Halloween night ghosts 
strike, everyone dies, Witches 
kill, and make a spell.
By Kevin.

Scary Things
Goblins are scary,
Werewolves and ghosts are scary too,
Black cats under spells.
By Jack

The Banshee
The banshee screams,
There is a knock on your door,
Death is in the air.
by Simon
