You made a real nice Minute here, sticking completely to the rules.
Most unusual and original to make even this about Halloween.

I find it interesting that All Saints' Eve and Halloween are alternately named. You would think that the saints eve would be for something good, while Halloween is usually equated to the horrific.

Although, there were those medieval years, lol.

Good light poem for the season. - John

    Thank you.
    From what I've researched, it seems to be one of those occasions when a Christian celebration and a pagan one have merged - same reasoning applies to some of the Christmas traditions...

This light and fun poem is the essence of Halloween. All the fun and none of the bad history. The cartoon picture is a perfect addition to the childlike theme of the poem.

Good luck in the contest and keep writing

    You're welcome. This may be the last year my son dresses up. I may even wear a costume to work on Monday, just for fun.

I read this poem aloud and it really read nicely. I think this would be lots of fun for a school poem. It is a great Halloween piece without being scary. great job.

I enjoyed reading your poem very much. It is cleverly written and very well thought out. I think any child reading your poem would like it very much. Good luck with the contest.
