Haiku Story: Loony Lupin

This is a series of haikus that are read together as a story.   My inspiration was the Harry Potter series.  I hope you enjoy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The house was haunted
No one would dare to come near
"The Shrieking Shack" stood

Rumors were started
Keeping villagers away
It's better that way

A werewolf you see
was at magic school that year
Dangerous to all

Transformed at full moon
into a beast with no sense
Biting all at will

He goes in the shack
Until he's human again
Safe another month

Cute, Sarah... Interesting subject matter for haikus... ;o)

You did a wonderful job! haikus are not my specialty and I admire those with the talent. You do have it, and it was very lyrical, just that right touch of magic for me. A fantasy in those haikus. Great work. Ellen B

Nice. I like Harry Potter. I would, however, avoid the Shrieking shack.
I don't like Harry Potter, but I thought the way you put the haiku poems together to tell a story was unique and entertaining!
