Thanks for the great comments, Hitcher. A little squirming is exactly what I was aiming for, so that's perfect. Most grateful. Cheers, Craig
Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
A very well done Halloween poem composed of a horror of a monster's descriptive intentions that would have anyone avoid meeting such a beast and scare, you know what, of any child. So I read it! It's scary and especially the picture.

Comment from Rmocruz
This horror theme is well penned, presenting solidly rhymed quatrains.
A well executed story in a poem. The visual art selection reminds me of a black and white silent movie scene. I enjoyed this promising contest entry.

The art is taken from the film Nosferatu, which I'm pretty sure was a silent movie, so you are spot on. Many thanks, Craig

You're welcome Craig, thanks for the info.
Comment from Pantygynt
This could be interpreted as a terrible warning against spending too much time on Facebook or, dare I say it, FanStory! No! Don't turn around. Light verse telling a suitably horrific tale for Halloween and, joy oh joy, in perfect metre right through (that's a rarity here). The metre is Ballad metre, iambic lines of alternating tetrameter and trimeter to an abcb rhyme scheme. A perfect example of the genre.

You're only the second person to mention the little hint about too much time in front of our screens, PG. Thanks for the delightful comments and the stellar rating. Most grateful, Craig
Comment from dejohnsrld (Debbie)
While they are sitting at their desk,
the beast comes from behind
and as they gaze upon their screen
it feeds upon their mind.
I think this must be what happened to my mind, LOL.
A wonderfully penned ending to this well written poem. Best wishes in the contest, my friend~Debbie

"The Mulahad", is a well-written and spine-chilling piece. This talented poet's work was a dubious pleasure to both read and review. To me, this is a six, but I'm never given enough of them. I look forward to seeing your next post.

Comment from Pearl Edwards
A great horror/thriller poem Craig, shades of Dean in this one. You build up the fright night game well until that last line, I liked that ending, it worked well.
cheers,

Thanks so much, Valda. I don't have any of Dean's flair, but I'm flattered to be mentioned in the same sentence, especially since these contests are in his honour, and Michael Cahill's, of course. Most grateful. Cheers, Craig
Comment from sunnilicious
That was a creepy story in a poem. Well thought out. Clearly written. Creative. Good details. Good verbiage with a few subtle alliterations that work together. Good visual imageries as the story unfolds. Nice work. Great.
Good luck in the contest
Happy Halloween Week :)

I should have waited until morning to read this. This is the spookiest thing I've read lately. Thank goodness, I'm sitting against the wall.
Good meter and rhyme, and an awesome picture. Good luck in the contest.

Did I mention muluhads can materialise through walls? How could I have forgotten that little detail? Thanks again for the fun comments and good wishes. Craig

You forgot to mention that. Gee, thanks!

How can one not turn around after being told to not turn around? Very well written poem with solid rhythm and rhyme. Perfect for this contest, sure to be a contender.
