Corn husks in the wind
Scarecrows whisper "hi" to crows
Teeth in plastered smile.

This is a very haunting haiku!
Great haiku, Michelle! The plastered teeth is a very powerful image.
Looks like you had fun creating this, Michelle. Enjoyed reading it 😊
I love the playful eeriness in this.
Nice and simple. I love it.
Well, there's a scarecrow in the field I drive past everyday that I will never look at the same again.
Scarecrows have always creeped me out. Your poem was so scary!
This is awesome, Michelle.
