Comment from J. P. Egry
Absolutely adorable. the kids would love this one. The sound of it is terrific when read aloud. You've managed to project a good bit of fun into the scary, vivid, images. And there is also an urgency here, that if you don't pay attention, you may not be able to experience this again. Nice.

It is getting close, isn't it, Brooke. Got to get all the sweeties in. You have set the scene brilliantly, with all the ghouls and ghosts, LOL, is Sawyer dressing up this year? I know my Eric is, and he will look horrendous! It is going to be a fun night. Lovely poem and fearsome read! xsx sandra

Sawyer's mother is the world's biggest Halloween form. He already has two costumes, Mike W from Monsters Inc and Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story - they are currently his favorite movies :-) Last year when he was more babyish he wore animal costumes. L.A. has lots of Halloween events to attend, so one costume is not enough. LOL Brooke

I seem to remember you put a photo on here in his costume, last year. I'm sure you did. Perhaps you can check that. I hope you do it again. I must try and get one of Eric this year, he is Batman! Not at all ghosty, LOL! xx
-
Yep, he was in his lion costume in the story poem that won the story poem contest :-)
-
Yes, I remember it well, now. He looked so cute! Don't forget to put one on in this years costume. :)

You are the queen of alliteration with this fun little piece. It reads well, flows easily and I expect kids would love it. Scary, but not really....just the way they like it! Love it

Great job with all of the creepy words. Grumble, ghosties groan, growl, moan', blackest doom, pour each goblet full of gloom, and now I'm staying under the covers tonight.

Halloween Poem in trochaic meter 'Ghoulies Grumble.' I have never been able to establish exactly what Halloween originated as. It appears to be some kind of ritual from the dark ages. Well done.

Comment from marion
OMG - a straight out sixer from me. I don't even have to think about it, or weigh it up. The alliteration, the rhyme, the rhythm ... such talent. I spent 80 hours on a children's rhyming short story - my first. It's sits to one side of the computer, very close to the trash can, still with fault. What I am trying to say is, "How can you do it so perfectly and effortlessly!"
