The 13 Days Of Halloween by Local Gems Press
My poem, “Halloween Teeth,” is on Day 5 of the 13 Days of Halloween by Local Gems Press. I share the day with Jilian Roath and Narges Rothermal.
HALLOWEEN TEETH HAIKU
—Patricia Carragon
the sound of drills
jack o’lantern smiles
under construction
jack o’lantern smiles
the curse of too much
Halloween candy
jagged teeth
jack o’ lanterns
in need of dentures
dental phobia
your insurance won’t cover
another crown
the economy
scarier than being drilled
by Freddy Krueger

The Avocet
I have three haiku on the Fall 2014 issue of The Avocet. I’m pleased that George Held, Erica Mapp, Mary Jo Balistreri, Charles Portolano, and more are also in this issue.
veins on leaves
my tree’s hands
touch mine
———————————
lamppost moon
sunshine leaves
autumn nocturne
—————————————–
leaves somersault
on sidewalks
autumn breeze
