Dēofol’s ghoulish night
When the forests are spooky
He strolls in delight
Miseries to all that tread
When persons dare walk with dead-Clarence Holm

Feels like a classic look at the whole idea of Halloween. Like the art too. Nice job: )
I had a hard time with the word “spooky” didn’t quite fit the mood
You found a sweet way around it though : )
Lovely!
Creepy image and loved the Tanka!
