well, I just might stay up all night and eat Halloween candy instead of going to bed, as you have sufficiently scared me. :)

Comment from Eleri
I really like this poem as the rhyming is good and follows the set scheme well. The ghosts and ghouls mentioned are described well too and the rhythm of the poem is nice and consistent so that it reads well out loud. The only thing that I would have changed is that you have used 'sleep' and asleep' as end rhymes. I think that I would have replaced one of them with something different.

Hello Eleri. Thank you for the wonderful review and excellent rating for my Halloween poem. I?m glad you enjoyed the imagery and rhymes.
You're right about the sleep/asleep. I tried other rhymes, but they didn't fit the theme as well.
I appreciated the encouraging comments very much.
Best wishes.

Comment from Pantygynt
A truly seasonal piece with Halloween just around the corner and the shops full of pumpkins. The rhyme scheme and iambic tetrameters somehow add a threatening feel to the piece --- very appropriate.

Comment from Pearl Edwards
Mister Grim and Mister Reap, gave me a smile from the start in your well-rhymed Halloween Poem RS. And a great finish, with a creepy warning, for that is when the demons creep into our nightmares. Enjoyed it, a great presentation.
cheers,

This is exactly what demons do unto us they give fear and bring us nightmares which we can't withstand. Excellent work! No mistakes found. Thank you for sharing!

This is a fine poem for Halloween with all the best holiday images, excellent metre and rhyme. And a great warning not to fall asleep. The artwork complements the write very well too.

Wow!!! I just love how you used those thin margins of description in such a descriptive way in rhyme. Those cracks, those threads, that imagery that scares n makes want to get the duct tape and seal the house!

Comment from BethShelby
This is a really cool Halloween poem. You should have entered it in the Halloween poetry contest. The big night is right around the corner. No kids will be coming up my steep hill. I hope the witches and ghosts leave me be as well.
