Thanks, Linda. Yeah, no blood was even spilled - one of those instances where the two of them were engaged in horseplay during which everyone is happy and laughing until all of a sudden... LOL He cried loud enough to make poor little Nora feel guilty, and then all was good a minute later. :-) He already knows how to guilt his honorary big sister. Brooke

What a great write for the Halloween season. Sorry to hear that poor little Sawyer hurt himself. I love the picture. Nora draws very well. Thanks for sharing.

Very smooth read, I like the sound of the first stanza. You blended everything in your poem well. You awaken the senses, not just the eyes. Great Halloween poem.

I love Sawyer's drawing. The alliteration used in your poem seems to be exactly the thing to use for a Halloween poem. It was fun to read.

Hi, Brooke...

Bumps on head are as aggravating as stubbed toes. I'm with Sawyer--OUCH!

Fun poem leading up to Halloween.

Cheers & Blessings

Jax, thanks so much :-) He screamed, but just for one minute, then back to playing with Nora :-) Brooke

You covered everything here from ghouls on the loose, ghosts, feasting of fangs .... It felt like Halloween night was right on my doorstep. Brilliantly done and very visual. Excellent rhythm and rhyme. A perfect Halloween poem. Genya

Delectably delightful, Brooke - The sharp short lines give your Halloween poem good punch - and that creepy (in a safe comfortable way) feeling that children love so well.
Great use of onomatopoeia in Clatter / scratching / groans / gnashing / wailings.


Not long now - which reminds me - I need to get out and get some goodies. I'll have about 100 kids here on Halloween night.
