Ivory, Ebony and Crimson
Her skin is pure white,
Unusual to her kind--
An Innocent Witch.
Purer than the night
In which she was born into--
Glorious by shade.
Blood is all she sees:
Running through her, in her sight--
The perfect color.
- Adaya
Secrets in the night.
Glowing eyes observe,
Secrets and sounds of the night,
Consuming your fear.
Deep in the darkness,
Feeling hot breath on your neck,
Creatures lay in wait.
Hidden lifeforms hide,
Lie in the dark of the night,
The secret beings.
- Ads
Whispers
Fingers graze my hair
As the wind coos in my ear
Down my back, shivers.
A snake slithers down
From it's perch on the moon;
Fright strangles my throat.
A scream, stuck in me
Struggling to pierce the air
To cut through the night.
- Akaisu
Headless Horseman
Through the night he rides,
head a fiery pumpkin,
beware the Horseman!
- Amalthea Bloodfeather
Ouch?
In the dark of night
I watch my step so I do not
Trip, fall, break my head.
If I did it would
Be bad, death by concussion
I hope I don't die!
Luckily just a
Mouse, scurrying around in
`
My house. Shoo mouse shoo!
- Astell
The Hunt Begins.
Werewolves howl tonight,
Full moon shines down upon you,
Soon you will join them.
Prey Found.
The whisper of grass,
Now the soft foot steps of doom,
You appear, dear fear.
The Hunt Ends.
Blood grows cold quickly,
Devour fast your first meal,
Death is fast, others steal.
- Auora
The Darkness Haikus
The darkness swallows
Slowly eating away our souls
Clipping at our cores
The shrill scream echoes
The dark hides the pleading cry
Yet nothing is seen
The light is so true
The darkness can only bring pain
As it swallows hope
- Bakery
Darkness
Soft padding of paws
Sounds whistling in the wind
For nighttime has come
The sounds of the night
Begin their eerie chorus
For eternity
Ghostly shadows form
In the depths of the forest
Until the next dawn
- Boxing
Out in the night
Shivers up their spine,
the wide-eyed moon glares at them.
Tails between their legs.
- Bumbles
Three Grim Haikus
The sound of its wings!
an owl rides on the night's wind
oh, how enchanting!
The long, hollow howl;
Empty yet melodious
Was it a werewolf?
She shuddered in fear;
the call of a hungry beast!
Was it really there?
- Cemetery
In The Dark Of The Night
Shrieking and screaming
A pitiful call of fear
Bats must be drinking
Furre fear what lurks there
They dare not walk past night fall
Why don't we change that?

Darkness
Entry #1
Life in the darkness,
Delicacies of this place,
Drinks of blood and bones.
Entry #2
Come with me then, come
Children of the Night come,
A feast awaits us.
Entry #3
Allow me a taste,
Just a very little taste,
Of that lovely crimson.

The moon will rise
In the dark night sky,
The moon will rise yet again.
As the wolves will come.
- DJ Mike
Leaving the Haunted Isle
Many eyes aglow
What is it that keeps them here
Blood is a sweet treat
A low rumble sounds
The trees shake angry and cold
A hand clamps my arm
The sharp creak of wood
Midnight waves torment the ship
His storm is coming
- Effira
Beware!
Little ones beware!
You may never know what lurks;
In the cool night air.
- Elayne
Darkness Falls
Whispering deceit,
in the dark, you cannot see
what stares back at you.
Rays of dying sun,
bleeding hues across the sky.
Night stands triumphant.
With fleeting shadows
and bodiless whispered lies,
the night watches all.

Make your wills unknown

3 Haikus
In the dark of night
Haunting under the moon's light.
Bat flies and wolf spies.
A haunting wolf's howl
And the sound of beating wings
In the dark of night.
The night comes early
And the darkness comes alive
Wolf howl has begun.
- Huntress
Shades Hunger and Refuge
Within the darkness
Misty shades cover my soul
Its vapors consume
The night enfolds me
Deep hunger cries to feed
Consuming the light
Sheltered from the light
Deepest wounds will heal and pine
Dark night my refuge

Night Haiku
Deep, dark, sightless night,
Stark terror of life and limb,
I step - Ow! - Chair leg.
Diamond stars glitter,
Beauty high in ebon night,
Darkness brings reward.
Darkness creeps over,
Shrouding night - look in the sky!
Marvel at wonder.
- Justin StinCoy
Pagan Rites
Poem 1 - 'Ritual'
Dancing in circles,
Calling on the ancestors,
Waiting for the moon.
Poem 2 - 'Ghost'
Stuck in this lifetime,
Stuck between the worlds of existence,
Seeing you all live.

Watching the prey run,
Seeing the moon shining,
Earth under the paws.
- Karnak
Night
The sunlight fades away
Leaving darkness, cold, and fear
The night comes once more.
Late October night,
Even the stars hide their glow.
Wolf Howl Begins.
The dark of the night
Makes myself quiver with fear. . .
Too bad for a bat!

True Joy
Night wind blowing cold
Living essence of Earth's breath
Pale moon plays sentry.
Bright stars blink above
Chill inhabitants of space
Watch the beasts of dreams.
O! Children of Night!
Hurl your voices to the skies!
Know what true joy is!

Wolfhowl Haikus
Haiku one:
Negative matter
Dusk recesses in shifting
Aligning eclipse

Age eternal night
The concious sanity, gone
Memories demise

Overwhelming screams
Nervous inside rippling
Threshold barriers
- Kikosku
Chilling Embrace (3 haikus)
Cold embraces all
Shattering chill of absence
Stillness turns to wail
Kiss of life so clear
Absently full of grace
Swaying away death
Sudden clarity
So near, blinding breath enshrouds
Steady staggering
- Kilmeny
Songs of the Night
Once the moon goes dead
And the light is all but gone
A wolf sings her song.
The moon watches us
With an acid yellow eye
Like the wraith of night.
A white owl flies
Swift and silent through the night
Looking for it's prey.
- Kintari
....
In the dark of night,
Where shadows reach in tendrils,
Sharpened teeth await.
I saw, long ago
Before clocks could measure time,
Darkness eludes time.
Subconsciously, yes
We do move towards the light.
But my heart is dark.
- Kono
Fright
Night. House settles down
hold candle up; drops to ground.
Above, eight eyes, eight legs
Flight
Dark branches whip past;
dodge through trees, running from house.
I saw a spider.
Forest
Silence enshrouds me
tall shapes block stars, unseen
low rustle of leaves
Description:
The first one I made, Forest, was merely a serene scene in the middle of a dark forest, and a breeze passes through (first silence, then rustling)
The second one, Fright, is about walking through the hallways of an old house as it creaks and groans, settling down for the night. Holding up a candle, it's suddenly dropped out of fright when a spider is seen right in front.
The third I made Flight, is pretty much an attempt at connecting the three in a story. On its own, it would be a somewhat dramatic thing about fleeing something, with the comic twist of it just being a spider.
In terms of time, Flight would be under a minute after the Fright, but Forest would be anywhere upwards of ten minutes later, after finally calming down.
- Koolpin
The Spooky Forest (Haikus)
Candy-seeking kids,
Wolves and bats glaring about,
Carcasses hidden.
One night past midnight,
A young wolf sat in the woods,
Seeking her victim.
Trees sway in the night,
Rattling wind causing a fright,
Halloween moonlight.
- Korn

The Perils of Halloween Candy
In the fall, beware!
The chinchilla overlord
Comes for our candy!
On Halloween day,
This chinchilla will appear
In the dark of night.
With a plot to steal
All of your tasty candy.
So, indeed, beware!
- Len Flare
Bad, Lousy Poetry
Under the covers
Spooky stories commence
With a flashlight
The darkness surrounds
Thick shadows enveloping
A presence is felt
The sun lays its head
In night, the shadows arise
So too do your fears

Hidden in Darkness
An empty hallway
Tearing flesh and then a scream
Echoing silence
- Link
Haikus of shadow
Night gains dominance
The Sun shakes, hiding in fear
Until tomorrow
Eyes in the darkness
Glow in their deep residence
Mother and her pups
Fluttering darkness
Reducing scourge of insects
Bats are on the hunt.

Fox Howl
When I first heard him
Speaking on Skype, it sounded
Like he was howling
He prowls Furcadia
At the strangest of hours
Who is this creature?
Sanctimonious
His name has five syllables
How convenient

Shadows and Wind
As the darkness comes,
I shudder to imagine,
The Evil Shadows.
The wind picked up,
All seemed normal until,
The moon turned red.

3 Creepy Haikus
Soundlessly creeping, /
the black wolven eyes its prey./
I pity the fool.
Screeching and screaming, /
countless bats vacate their roost /
in search of fresh blood.
Your chest burns and heaves, /
but none elude the wolven. /
It is behind you. /
- Mr. Edgeworth
My Haikus
1.) Fall leaves drop gently
Costumed kids dream of Candy
Cool breeze flutters past
2.) The sound strikes fear now
The howl pierces the black night
Oops! It was a cat!
3.) Halloween Costumes
Everyone hides their own face
Who's under that mask?
- Naomi Nutara
Night's Swiftness
I see the night sky.
The moon glowing brightly up,
Drifting in the night.
Vivid night to day.
I can still dream peacefully.
When you are near me.
Shadows are hiding.
A smile is on my face.
Watching you quickly.

Three Haikus
1.
Shrill screams fill the streets,
As monsters hunt for the goods.
Oh, they just want sweets.
2.
Cold monsters want blood.
Stalking the night to get it,
They do what it takes.
3.
At the dark of night,
Our one true fear comes to life
Haunting and stalking
- Pome
On loneliness.
Chirping softly here,
Alone in the cold darkness;
A mournful cricket.
- Raine Adrian
Our Guardian
Dusky, inky black
Haunting shadows, promises.
Whispers lost to wind.
Many creep beneath
The bleak blanket of the night,
Hunting, searching on.
Night is not only
Refuge for the wicked beasts.
Her arms hide us all.
- Rydia Aslin
Lights Out

Darkness foretells a story

Three Haikus
Incinerating
the very matches until
we're left in the dark.

grip you by your throat, squeeze, then
Pull you into night

Darkness, consuming,
All that you see, and beyond.
Be ye brave enough?
- Salimelion Breanda
In the Shadows
Shadows of the trees
loom above hinting at what
lies in the dark night
Beasts roam through the night
striking fear into the hearts
of small animals
A furre jumps back
from the fearsome shadow,
running home to light
- Shidash
Eine kleine Nachtmusik - A small serenade
Shadows in the streets
candle shining in the dark
calm and unnoticed
Night in a forest
squirrel sleeping peacefully
dreaming of next day
It is dark at night
it is nice and calm at night
but it is lonely
- Shinichi Kudo
Darkness
Under a new moon,
Shadows prowl, creatures howl, for
The spirits walk here.
Spirits restlessly
Walk among us, seeking one
Who can see, and hear.
One who sees and hears
Those restless shades, is truly
A part of nature.
- Silvaris
Black forest.
Somewhere in the night,
A creature hides in the dark.
A shrill scream echoes.

O'Lonely Night
Silence in my ears
Darkness all around me now
Nighttime is lonesome
- Skyglass Whitefire
Darkness of the Forest
Predator, killer,
A deadly silent stalking,
A frenzied murder
Devoured by night,
Cloaked with silence, pursuing,
Stillness, a choice mace
Moon's reflection skips,
Rushing river riding down,
Alive, breathing night
- Stimulant
Darkness
Full Moon in darkness
Shadows cast upon the Earth
Night reigns over all
- Tala
Night Haikus
Darkness surrounds me
like a velvet shroud of death
and I lie silent.
Absence of color
makes the world quiver in fright
as day becomes night.
Cold is the blackness.
No seeing or warmth from sun.
Nighttime is dreary.
- Targath
Halloween

Never-Ending Journey
A glint in the dark,
A howl all around you.
Will you join them?
Wind ruffles your pelt,
As you struggle to catch up.
They Bark Joyously.
Yipping and baying,
They lead you on a journey,
An unending night.
- Wild Silver Moon
In the Dark of the Night
Darkness all around,
Terrified to make a sound,

Trees sing treesong.

I shut tight my fearful eyes,
Do not dare a peek.

while I shiver with horror.
Have I gone to Hell?
