orange pumpkin moon
black cloud eye-mask conceals face
trick-or-treat bandit
rises above dark tree shapes
farmyard glows with light surreal
mysterious crossing

Shiki, one of the Big Five haiku poets, wrote this in classical style:
when I looked back,
the man who passed
was lost in the mist

his haunting haiku inspires my attempt as follows:
glance out my window
cloud wisps pass before half moon
glimpse coyote shadows
