This poem meets the challenge of writing a minute poem, and the subject is timely since Halloween is right around the corner. The portrayal of of trick or treaters is well done. Good luck in the contest.--Denise

Thank you. Halloween is not actually my tradition, but I just thought I'd join in the fun.

Love this sweet little Halloween poem. It has all the charm and flavour of this night of goblins and ghost. Each October 31st, we're transported back to when we were the wee folks begging from door to door... loved it! Cheers, Jack

Actually, Mexico's Day of the Dead and Halloween are similar in intent - to maintain intimate contact between the living and their deceased ancestors in order to gain wisdom from them. But they developed independently. I come to the tradition thrugh some Irish ancestry, but in the US the tradition has taken on a festival air. There are those who misunderstand the origins and prefer to cast it in a demonic light. Those same folks have trouble countenencing fun in any form, so many of the more tolerant churches have embraced the celebration as one of innocent fun and fantasy. An interesting evolution of thought. :) Nancy

A light-hearted poem that fits
in beautifully at this time of
year. Your minute poem written
in graceful rhyme as you tell your
tale of ghosts and witches, jack-o-lanterns,
and monsters and skeletons that come
out on this fun filled season of
Halloween.
Well done

Your iambs line up like ducks in a row, as the old cliche goes. You've captured the true essence of Halloween, plus kept within a workable metre and a very fine rhyme. Well done.

This is quite good, and I wish you well in the contest. It flowed very well and did not sound forced at all, and it was engaging to read

I thought this was a fine entry, full of the Halloween spirit. My thoughts are that the weakest spot was where you rhymed eve and Eve. that kind of threw off the poem in my opinion. Otherwise, you did a terrific job with this form.
