Who Is There
Enough to bring a scare
Where is my flashlight
Who's there, is that you daddy
No, no, leave me be

Author's Note: How do you write a haiku on the subject of bringing a scare, when haikus are usually about love or nature? Then, what about the minimum for poetry of 100 words mentioned in the community guidelines? I suppose you write several haikus to bring fear or mystery.

A haiku to scare
I love nature and you, Boo
Is that really fair

Rolling, rolling roll

Over here, can't you see me
Okay then, next time

Poetry In A Sandwich Form
Author's Note: The first and last stanzas are the same, representing slices of bread. In between are couplets of any format you like or any number of stanzas you like, as if you were making a sandwich. I took the poem format literally.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

I love how you turned the haiku form into something playful and spooky.
Nicely done, Denise. I find that is the problem with Haikus, they are over before they start. I always feel like a hoax submitting just three lines, so if it not a competition, I usually try to collect two or three together on the same theme.
I especially loved your third one, you made it into a Tautogram as well. Sooo impressive!
So clever! I love the acrostic too! ☺️
Denise , the hunted echoes Challenge did not asked for 100 words. I read some very scary ones. I only entered one. Stalker Into the night ,was mine.
All bring about some sense of fear, but really just a sense of fun for all. (I always thought the same thing, but for poetry now they do not need to be 100 words)
