Now that's one creepy, scary Halloween poem for the contest. The last stanza is my favorite and definitely the creepiest.
Well done

Your build a memorably haunting setting, with an excellent choice of words and images. I like the way you build the narrative. You sucessfully draw the reader in and you held my attention to the end. The rhyming is really good. Happy Halloween.

Your last stanza is my favorite.It flows along smoothly keeps a rhythm in a cadence all the way through.
Such a macabre subject matter isn't really brings it first and foremost to things that still happen today.
Excellent choice. A wellspring of words to draw from good job. Hope your day is grand!

An excellent entry for the Halloween Poetry contest. I love that you brought the old Samhains tradition to this poem. So creepy and scary to be a living child walking among the dead like that. As well as sadness for the dead children who were taken through no fault of their own. Thanks for sharing

Oh, we have a poet. I have never read you, but I am honored to read this. November is a great month for pagan and (others). I'm kidding, of course. I am not easily impressed by poetry, simply because I do not have that gift(jealousy). I am impressed. Deep and intelligent.

This is a wonderful Halloween poem. I like how you write about it from the Samhain perspective, giving it a Celtic gothic feel. I like the traditional rhyming pattern as well.
