Yes Halloween is the night when the veil between the worlds is thin - and whether you believe in such things or not, those roaming spirits probably believe in you, or at least acknowledge your existence, considering that it used to be their own. Even the air feels different on Halloween, autumn-crisp and bright. Thanks for your spooky poem.

Idamarty, you've put together a duly scary poem with your scheming witches, demons, werewolves, vampires, and all.
Careful meter, skillful internal rhyming, and over-all presentation combine to make this a terrific read.
Have an appropriately gloomy Halloween!

I like your creepy Halloween poem, it's very evocative of a scary time of year. I especially enjoyed the monster imagery you used. Thanks for sharing and have a great day

Very nice presentation for the spooky side of Halloween. I wish you luck in the contest. Your rhymes suffer for the sense to be clear, although that may not count in the contest rules.

Your horror Halloween poem is interesting and it flows and rhymes well. Your artwork choice enhanced your message and good use of alliteration of letters and sounds. Best wishes!

This was an enjoyable read for the upcoming holiday. The rhyme and meter are consistent and I saw nothing that needs work. Good luck with the contest.

"All Hallows Eve", is an extremely well-written and somewhat spine-chilling piece. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. Good luck with the contest.

Hi IdaMarty
I enjoyed your entry for the Halloween poetry contest. I liked the inner rhyme in lines 1 & 2 of each stanza,
"Eve/weaves" , "wrath/path" , "brew/stew" , "gnats/bats" , "howls/prowl" , "beast/released" , "skies/rise" , "things/wings" , "beware/dare" , "meet/treat"
You've got witches, a werewolf, and vampires, but
I like the imagery in this stanza especially,
"Three witches brew, a deadly stew
Of newts and gnats, and vampire bats.
They laugh and dance as cauldron boils,
Anticipating evenings spoils."
You also have some nice alliteration,
"Of newts and gnats"
and,
"Neath stygian skies"
Stygian refers to the River Styx of the underworld Hades in Greek mythology.
Something that's Stygian is dark, murky, and probably a little melancholy.
In any case, it deserves a capital...( 'Neath Stygian skies)
You've omitted a few apostrophes,
"mans path" ...(man's path)
"hells sweet rape" ...( hell's sweet rape)
"evenings spoils" ...( evening's spoils)
One line seemed weak to me,
"To seek to meet to trick or treat" ...I think it's because of "to" which you used 3 times here.
Good Luck in the contest, and Happy Halloween! These Halloween poems with the scary artwork are great!
cheers
