Night,
ghouls haunt,
heroes race,
pirates swagger –
slowed only by the weight of treasure
and oversized costumes warmly packed –
It’s Hallowe’en!
Kids delight
parents
sigh.
(Today’s prompts are: Fandango – weight, Ragtag Community – costume, and Daily Addictions – signal.)
“Kids delight … parents sigh.” That’s wonderful! YOU are wonderful, V.J.

Here it is, I found it: it is a beautiful form V.J.
Double Tetractys: A decastich (10-line stanza) with an emphasis on the syllabic count of each line. Syllabic count: 1-2-3-4-10-10-4-3-2-1 It should express a complete thought and may be on any theme and express any mood. Rhyme is optional.
