"All Saints’ Wake" Haiku Contest (EU) Entry Thread

Praise thee Hydaelyn
The light within my darkness
Pray twelve protect us

Ghosts Over Aldgoats
Green light fades to charcoal black
Milk turns to bone white

A pumpkin falling
Down from Limsa's Upper Decks
Smash! An imp fainted

The pumpkins laughing
Imps play mischief in Ul'dah
How the moon wanes

Evil's stench surrounds
I've had loads of pumpkin treats
Maybe it's from me?

*farts*

Shivering in gloom
Shadows creep so light the lamps
Tonight saints awake

This is All Saints' Wake
The day imps come out to play
Frights and treats they give

A spiteful imp
Tricks the black unforgiving blade
Odin on a pony

Pumpkins and spirits
All Saints' Wake, they call it here
Shiver, Eorzeans!

Aw, wrong syllables count (Eorzeans), maybe :(
If I can edit it:

Pumpkins and spirits
All Saints' Wake, they call it here
Run, Eorzeans!

Nightly shade creeping
A faint presence beside me
The pumpkin's flicker

Ghouls come out to play
Fun and frights on Eorzea nights
Mystical wonderment

That poor friend of mine
Thought he had bought a pumpkin
Tried to carve a bomb
