Good job, Kerry. I enjoyed your Halloween poem for the contest. Your rhymes are really good. I even saw an internal rhyme. There is good flow, too. Your music adds to the eeriness of your well-chosen words. This is really creepy, but in a true way. Good job and best wishes. Jan

A very well-written Halloween poem that makes us think about the danger that is hidden behind all the fun things for kids to do and the dress-up parties that are taken place all over town.

Excellent entry for this particular Halloween contest my friend. I enjoyed the creepiness of it all and the green font just took it to the next level. The artwork is a brilliant pairing.
God bless

Hi Kerry,
Oh, this is a delightfully devilish Halloween tale. So very creative and spooky. The idea of having one's nails plucked, hair all pulled out and then roasted on a spit for the devil's consumption is grisly and gruesome. Luv it! You set the scene well and then you wham your reader with that! Yikes! :)
This is a great entry for the contest. Your well-rhymed couplets create very scary imagery for your reader. Excellent pairing of picture and poem, and I love your last line.
Hugs,
Connie

Comment from dragonpoet
The couplet format accentuates the horror in this tale about the ghouls and goblins who come from beyond the spectral veil this one night to torture sugar greedy children. It is scary and I think using the remember between the last couple makes the warning stronger. Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing

I read your fantastic last year entry too . This year the main characters are the cursed ones seeking to satisfy their hunger for human flesh while they collect innocent souls to offer to their master with the prospect if receive favours from him.
You clearly have a very firm grasp on this dark topic that has oddly its "charm" ..that's why your poem makes such a great read and delivers to the last line..which is one of my favourite ones
It's children they want ...just one bite .
You kept the narrative and the rhyming component flowing from start to end.
The picture illustrates well the poem's words and the sound effects are the cherries on the cake.
A top notch entry worthy of a six star vote . ð???

This is a well rhymed scary poem written in couplets for Halloween, especially the part about being roasted on a spit. Yikes. Nicely illustrated, too. Good luck in the contest with this worthy entry. Marilyn

Comment from BOO ghost
The presentation looks incredible!
Has that icky lime green text.
Reading... The story begins with the vultures. Like this first quatrain conducting of free verse. Nice imagination pertaining to the creativity of rhymes. Not generic by far.
Reading... Truth of twisted tales. Nice example of unique aliterations here.
Every quatrain has its spooky charm. Enticed by the thrill of Halloween.
This is a sensational story poem and tonight is Halloween.
Awe, wish I had a dozen stars for this. Bookcase for due.
Just do many good quatrains to choose from.
Reap your spoils on this Halloween.
BOO!
