I like the action going on here and idea presented (has a witty perk). If you wanted to keep the light, kiddy tone, then "'Twas Halloween Eve" is good. But maybe something a little more unique or even frightful sounding.

You painted a wonderful picture with your words. I can see this happening on a chilly Halloween night! Not many writers can convey their message in few words. You do this well.

The reader has a sense of the leaves floating, or perhaps hanging onto the tree in fright. Some of our trees never quite lose all their leaves for the winter here.
good luck
thank you

I like the illustration, a common scene but a unique view, I can say the same thing about the poem, a common reference this time of year but an original take on it, well done, good luck.

Excellent use of the fear of Halloween. Having the leaves jump back on the trees, what a brilliant line, and goes so well with the illustration. Good luck with this great 5-7-5 in the contest! xsx Sandra

Hi Linda,

This is an excellent 5/7/5 poem that begs to be read over and over. Your word selections are expressive and creative. Your second line is innovative and clever. Well done and good luck in the contest...blessings, chey
