Hannah
An Acrostic, Club Entry32 total reviews
Comment from Bill Schott
This acrostic poem, Hannah, uses the framework of HAUNTED HOUSE as the proper formatting and tells the eerie tale of the haunting of the house by Hannah. Scary.

Nice job fitting into the acrostic, and I liked your regular rhythm like steps on creaky floorboards. The imagery is all classic, the fog shrouding the light, the ghosts that return to the favorite rooms from the grave; This is just good old Halloween fun. As Dickens would say: "I wants to make your flesh creep!" estory

This is a great Halloween poem. I could feel the terror in your words. It was creepy and scary. I sure felt scared. Good luck in the contest.

Nicely done. I haven't done one in a while. They are hard, but still fun. The picture is spellbinding. Good choice. Halloween creeps ever nearer. I miss the big parties, and how people really made an effort. Although, one year when my eldest didn't tell me that he needed a costume. At the last minute, my teenager just walked up and said he needed one, his idea didn't pan out. I got a black eye liner pencil Drew a circle around this right eye. Told him to bring me his grungiest T Shirt, and drew a big P on the front of it. You guessed it. He went as a black eyed pea. He won the most creative award. :-) Karen

Love your Acrostic for the Halloween contest, Jessica. A really creepy feel that grabs you from the hushed whispers all the way through. You've captured the Halloween feel well in this, great job and good luck in the contest.

I like the image of the young girl leaving her tomb to return to her room. Excellent acrostic form that tells a Halloween tale. There is an eerie feel to your words and you have all the elements to create a scary scene, ghosts,thick fog, the undead are all vivid descriptions to create a Halloween tale.

Oh my goodness, Jess!
Definitely haunting and eerie!
I grew up across from a 200+ year old cemetery. With my vivid imagination and the ghost stories my elder sisters told me as a young child, well, to this day I light up the house when I am alone! Too funny, but true!
I enjoyed the atmosphere your acrostic poem offers!
And... the lights will be on tonight! Hah!
Thank you for sharing!
fondly,

This was excellent!! I don't think I can specify that enough. It was Gothic, and spooky, yet (dare I say) playful. Well done. I hesitate on Acrostics because some come across as alphabetical lists. This was fluid and enchanting. Gretchen

This is a great and appropriately creepy entry for the Halloween Poetry competition as well as for the Acrostic event for the writing club. I like the little twist that Hannah's the one doing the haunting. I pictured this poor little girl shivering in terror under her bed, then~surprise! Great job!

masterful and moving and scary poem about ghosts and spirits inhabiting a haunted house of horrors. This would make a good short story, you got the beginning done in this poem.
