This is well presented, and has a good choice of font and background. The rhyme works well. I like that you have offered some positives and focused on the fun. Best wishes for your entry.

A cute poem for children on Halloween. Halloween brings out skeletons which are not the most pleasant thing to look at or even the sight of naked skulls. Scary after effects can happen if you're walking alone at night.

    I used to think skeletons were scary, then I realized that we all have one, after I took anatomy class. Kind of took all of the fun out of it. Thanks for reading. :)

Excellent entry for the Halloween poem for children. writing prompt Contest. You grasped the. form well. Wonderful presentation. Your rhymes don't seem forced and your descriptive words flow well expressing clear mental imagery. I love Halloween (*<>*)

Good luck in the contest.

What can be said of each of these submissions are they are good. Choosing just was one is not going to be fun and for reviews which do I choose. Oh well, a spooky decision seems in order, doesn't it?

This is a good entry to the Halloween contest. The rhyme scheme is consistent throughout the poem. The text is large and easy to read. I like everything being colorful because it is a poem for children. The animated visual is perfect.
Drop down the first line one notch from the bottom of the visual. In this line replace the They'll with There will be another one next year,
Good luck in the contest.

This is a fun poem and very descriptive of Halloween festivities. I'm not sure if it was purposeful or not, but I was troubled by the three-time use of "they'll" where "there'll" or even "the'll" would be better.

I am not a great critic of poetry, but think this line:
There's black and orange lights strung,

might be better as:
Black and orange lights are strung,

Good luck in the contest.

It's perfect, you have encaptured the very essence of Halloween my friend. I've never been a fan of scary stuff. I like to feel safe and cosy at all times, so I don't understand celebrating witches and elves.

Its Abcb rhyming with all the delights and satire of this special day that the US celebrates every year. Well done.
