Hello adewpearl, Brooke, I enjoyed reading your poem and each line pulled me quickly into the next line. Of special note:

scratching of claws,
feasting of fangs,
buckets of blood,
panicking pangs,

(As I read the above, I wondered "who" could be this be, but I was so relieved to read:

ghouls on the loose --
Halloween night.

... 'cause I thought some of my long-lost relatives had surfaced again. Whew- what a relief! Lol.)

A fun poem that made me smile. LateBloomer

This is a great Halloween poem. I loved your use of alliteration. It adds more to the cadence of your words. Rhyming was perfect. A great description of Halloween. I enjoyed reading it.

Great job

A fitting lesson in the art of alliteration that really plungers into the celebration of Halloween. No word seems to be wasted. It reads like a drum beat. Nice work -Ekim777

No moaning of men and bawling of broads or jabbering of jerks? No, that's a proper length. All I'll get is wailing of wind and lisping of leaves this far out in the boonies.
Excellent alliteration.

Hi Brooke - A great Halloween poem with a host of alliteration - too many to mention - possibly I like 'panicking pangs' - try saying it fast over and over - a good tongue twister. Fun read. Warm regards Dorothy x

This made me happier than a pig up to his snout in slop LOL. I love the imagery and you even make 'buckets of blood' fun in the way you weave the scene. Nicely done and I thank you so much for sharing this with me. Happy Halloween!

At least the Bed lives on. Sawyer left his gun at home. This is very well written. As usual your poem is very cute (but Sawyer is cuter.) Good time.
