Hi Brooke,
Now this reeks of All Hallow's Eve mythology! It's very clever in the use of imagery and it certainly conveys that sense of the Halloween legends.
Well done!

Brooke,
you should have entered this in the Halloween poetry contest. Your poem is scary and wonderfully written. Your rhyming quatrains are excellent. Great juxtaposition of art work to poem theme. I loved the rime combos such as flies/disguise, screams/dreams, dims/sins, shriek/seek, calls/falls and rise/prize. Your poem paints a creepy picture in the reader head. It's always a delight to read the your poetry from your talented pen, my friend.
Have a frightening Hallow-scream.
Melissa.

Ohhhhh... another spooky poem designed to scare me to pieces, I'm sure. Well written and certainly scary, with great word choices, like screams and shriek and paint black your fairest dreams... I loved it all.

How special! A Halloween message. This was quite good. Marvelous imagery, vultures flying, candles dimming and wolves howling.

Comment from Trybuck
More of your halloween fun
Beware, lest you come undone
Perfect love cast out all fear
His voice is always near
I hear coyotes howling every now and then(every night), but no wolves (real or imagined)
Have your fun and I'll have mine
And all will be just fine
Well written, Buck

"You be those spirits' prize." and banshee screams can make any hair strand for aeon. A very nice poem and truly can make anyone shiver. Candle dimmed on its own and wolf pack's call resounded from the distance. I believe I'm not gone.
Very nice Quatrain.

Very creative Brooke, well written and a lot of visual impact in this poem. Keep watch when the candle dims, sticks out for me. A lot of shadows move and flicker with candle flame, adding to the effect. Blessings, Paul.
