Hi Lia,

I like this one a lot:

a full moon last night
I gobbled up the neighbours
a werewolf's lament

Cheers,
John

Thanks, John. You're very welcome to join in if you want to. You just take the last line of the previous haiku and use it as your first line. You can stay on topic or take a new path with it.
