REVISIT
ENJOY THE MUSIC
walk carefully dear
piercing the night of horrors
a mummified stare
searches the silent forest
who is there to read her eyes

I enjoyed your happy check-out chick! And the forest denizen too, in a different way.
I like the "the silent forest who is there to read her eyes," 'blind leading the blind?'
..
Your masks depictions continue to amaze. I can imagine the mummified stare in your second poem.

Love the haiku--hope that some joy is returning to us. And the second poem is a shiver and warning.
A shiverworthy cautionary tale!
Happy weekend and happy Halloween to you.

Just felt the hairs go up on the back of my neck reading this!
A "mummified stare" describes her so well. Well done.

I like the mask haiku very much. The Sunday Muse poem? Well, it's creepy! It gives me shivers.
A mummified stare in a dark forest. EEK Shiver Shudder!

"who is there to read her eyes" - Nice. Good question!
That closing line is stunning Gillena!
A ghoul so frightening even the trees shiver. You make it look easy, Gillena. So much conveyed in so few words.

Beautiful art. But I want that photo of the girl creature in the woods.
The photo is the Sunday Muse prompt. You can link to the prompt page.
Happy you dropped by Nicole

I can hear the girl. The act of humming under a mask sounds so... natural, so human.
And the second poem is wonderfully spooky. I can picture those eyes...
