My Halloween Haiku

Unbreak my heart, sang

the grey monster chained up at 

the dark Illy bar.

Note
First-hand experience in Rome this afternoon as the whole city is getting ready for the carved pumpkin festival.

Another instructional haiku

Silence, when getting
too heavy, must be relieved.
How about a shriek?

– Leonard Blumfeld (© 2020)

Note
Actually, I was going to write about my own silence getting too heavy, i.e. not writing was taking on monstrous proportions. The shriek therefore is this haiku. More of the unheard kind. Like one from the stone monster above.
