I can tell it brings out the kid in you! Here it is not much celebrated. Your presentation is excellent and very appropriate for your theme. No image to distract from letting the reader's imagination go into full swing!

You should have entered this poem in the Holloween Poetry Contest; It would have done very well. I love this time of year, too. We live way out in the country, so we don't get any trick-or-treaters here. Sometimes I miss them.

Thank you. I dug this out of my portfolio. I've no illusion of being a poet. Lol. But sometimes I just feel a rhyme coming on.thank you for this. I sit out every Halloween just hoping one kid will show up. Gretchen
Comment from Eleri
This is a fun little poem about this time of year. I like the ideas behind it. However, If it is supposed to be a twelve line poem then your rhyming is a bit haphazard as some duos rhyme and some do not, ie 'beat' and 'eat' and 'hall' and 'walls' rhyme whereas 'fun' and 'year' do not. I think that it is always a good idea to keep things like end rhyming consistent as otherwise it looks a bit sloppy.
Having said that I do like this poem

Thank you. I confess to being a poetry dropout. Thank you for the nice review and the generous advice. Gretchen

Oh yes, I find it fascinating that although man leans on superstition in so many areas, yet he's terrified of it, but flaunts it almost mockingly. A sort of contradictory character is man, wonderful write Gretchen. Blessings Roy

Comment from BethShelby
If you enjoy the feeling of things being a little other-worldly and seeing all the spooky decorations, then this is your time of the year. It is my youngest daughter's favorite time. You should see her house. There some spooky sight everywhere you look. They've been up over a month already.
This is a neat little Halloween poem.

I enjoy most everything about fall. Mainly it's the rich warm colors and flickering candles. Spooky stuff is cool too. Thank you for this nice review. Gretchen

Hi, GWH
Excellent consonance in 'cackle/echoes'
This is short and great fun without loads of padding to take away the effect of your fun at time of Halloween with all the creepy imaginings you describe. As you say, it's sometimes great fun to be scared - harmlessly of course.
Best wishes, Ray

Great poem, my friend, but you didn't mention Jigsaw. He's definitely my greatest fear. A serial killer with a near genius intellect. And clowns! You didn't mention clowns either. How could you forget the clowns? LOL

Here's an assignment Teach. Write a wickedly scary short about clowns. Funny how everybody has something that scares the crap out of them. Witches are my thing. All hunched over and waiting to bake me in a pie or stew. Too creepy. Thanks for the review.

Witches? What in the world is scary about Samantha Stevens?? Are you kidding me? I had a big crush on her when I was a kid. And what about Glenda in the Wizard of Oz? Boy, I wish I had her for a third-grade teacher. LOL

Come on cissy boy, Bozo scares you? How about Margaret Hamilton in the Wizard of Oz. Now she was scary!
