Hi Jessica,
This is a good poem using a mono-rhyme format in the first two lines of each stanza. It gives strong images of the scariest of Halloween people and monsters in the last two lines. I like the lines about vampires and black cats the best.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Congrats on placing third in the contest.
Have a great day.
Joan

This was my favourite. Great use of rhythm and imagery. Thought you did a really good job not using mundane language for an iconic topic but rather descriptive language to bring the images to mind.

This has all the Halloween spookiness that we associate. It would be one of those campfire stories for the kids. I liked the scary ending:
"Your fear's their fun, you can't outrun
the monsters hunt till morning sun"

Congratulations on your third place win!!

This is a great story and covers all the creatures that will be roaming the earth on Halloween night. You capture the horror of the night perfectly. Well done.

Halloween, maybe my favorite day of the year. A time for ghouls and goblins, Barbie lookalikes, and super heroes, and old people to hand out yummy treats. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest!

This was a really fun piece to read and I thought the rhyme was really engaging. You brought the fun of Halloween to life well as well as the creepiness there is on the night as well. I really enjoyed it. Good luck in the contest.

The picture definitely reminds us of Halloween night.

I like you describe how people expect to Run into scarred objects.

But you said: The ghosts won't show, but shadows grow behind you everywhere you go.

Very cleverly said.

Thanks for sharing
