This poem not only meets the contest requirements but is appropriate for the season. I especially like the imagery of the second stanza, where we see the "Jack O' Lantern's fiery grin/Through pumpkin skin". Starting each stanza with "If" provides unity. Well done. Good luck!

Poet,
Your minuet poem is cleverly written with spooky-fun imagery painting a mental picture in the readers head. The art work is priceless. Your minuet is in splendid form with proper structure. You've written excellent rhymes to accommodate the structure of you poem. In your poem you had great word structure, very good alliteration and effective metaphor usage. I liked your second stanza the best: "If Jack o' Lantern's fiery grin Through pumpkin skin Lights up your eave, It's All Saints' Eve." I love your poem because it has the spirit of Halloween. I wish you good luck in the Minute Poetry writing prompt contest. I'd recommend your wicked cool poem to other reviewers. It was my pleasure to have reviewed your poem. Keep on writing with a very creative touch. Please have a happy Halloween and a fabulous day...Missy.

Very clever and cute and well-written. Of course the picture is perfect too and really adds a nice dimension to the poem. All Saints Eve? Good point there.

A cute, little tale you conjured up. Your rhyming pattern is upbeat. The artwork was very complimentary of your work. Just the right poem for this season.

Enjoyed this "treat". Well written minute poem utilizing Halloween without the gore and blood. Very concise as to pattern of assignment. Lines, syllables, etc. are correct. Love the pic, love the flow, and enjoyed the read. Good job. td

This is a fantastic entry into the contest. Your rhyme scheme just makes this read so flawlessly. I enjoyed this and it brought a huge grin to my face. The thought of excited little faces seeking their treats is enough to do that. :)

I love you minute poem, it is well written, and is true to form. I like the way you start with Halloween, then wind up with Halloween.
