Using a short form, such as the Haiku or Haibun, describe a night of trick or treating. Keep your images as vibrant as possible. You may wish to do a series of these short forms. I went for a modified version of the Rispetto (keeping the syllable count but losing the rhyming scheme)
Candy
Holding hands with my mother as we approach a neighbours house - her vampire teeth falling out of her mouth. Collar of my costume chafing. Standing on tiptoes to reach the brass knocker. A boy, older than me, answers - blue eyes bright as the moon. He offers a bowl of red wrapped sweets. "Chocolate kisses" he says. I smile back. We leave and I think of how his lips might taste.
