Your entry is very well written and endearing as it encourages the reader to help children enjoy this festive rite. I particularly like the imagery in your second stanza that has a hint of fun-filled fright. Best wishes in the contest. Regards, Hector

Comment from Jayson Therriault
Simple, elegant, funny, and everyone can relate to it.
Six stars across the board, and nothing that I could add to make it better.
Eve, not eave. That is the only thing ;)

You make this type of poem look easy. Its cute and humorous. Thanks for sharing a Halloween poem thats harmless enough. I don't like the ones that are gory.

Hi Mystery Poet,
This is a delightful poem about All Saints' Eve. You have a successful rhyme and the syllable count follows the rules of the minute rules. Love the picture you chose as it is perfect for your theme. Well done and good luck in the contest....blessings, chey

Hi the author,
Nice bt of fun for the season, I prefer the older name "All Hallows Eve" though All Saints is probably better understood.
Nice imagery in the verses and a promise of fun.

I would have gone for All Hallows Eve too - it has a nice ring to it, but it didn't fit the meter...
Thanks.

I really enjoyed the rhythm and rhyme.
This flows nicely.
A perfect definition of Halloween. All that horror only for fun.
Great contest entry.

If skeletons and monsters small
Do come to call,
Then don't be mean;
It's Halloween!
I love Halloween. I love to see the excitement in the little kids eyes as they come to the door. Wonderful entry. Best wishes in the prompt

Comment from MizKat
This is really good. A sweet little halloween poem. When you say: lights your eave, do you mean the eave of a house? Why not : lights up your sleeve (not only is it closer, but you wouldn't have to use eave and eve.) Just a suggestion. Kat

Thanks, Kat. I fiddled with that line for some time - didn't want to change the structure because it matched the other stanzas and wanted to keep the fiery grin and All Saints' Eve. Would you believe I didn't even notice eve/eave...
