THANK YOU!

Wow! Under assonance and consonance in the dictionary
they should put this first stanza! What a gorgeous example
(and sooo much fun to read aloud) it is!!!

In fact, if it's a giant encyclopedia sized dictionary they should
put the whole poem in :-)

I can just imagine the big grin on Sawyer's face when you read
him this - great poem for kids and adults alike :-)

I always love your Halloween poems, Brooke. They really capture the essence of "creepiness." Great alliteration in this one, and I love the line "Don't allow one candle lit" It really adds something for me.

A different type of poem for you, Brooke. You have a good range. This fit the Halloween mood well. A fun little read with a clever ending.

Easy to read, flows great, excellent rhyme. Just a pleasure to read. It got longing for fall weather. The picture reminds us of Halloween with all it's ghouls and goblins.

LOVE it! This is super! I'm at a loss for words...Well, if ANYONE, 'cept God, finds something wrong with this...let them be chained to the back bumper of a 4x4 and dragged for a very long time! This rocks and socks!

Thanks for sharing!

very nice, and it reminds me that I was invited to a Halloween party this year. I have no plans of dressing up (no money for it) but it promises to be fun and a lot of folks I know will be there too. I hope your Halloween will be as fun. :)

Hi Brooke, Four perfect stanzas in trochaic meter, filled with much alliteration, 'G' occurring throughout, also 'monsters moaning' and 'sounds but screams'. A suitably creepy poem for Halloween. Good rhyming couplets and near rhyme growl/now. A good read - Warm regards Dorothy x

Oh, so it's that time of year again. The assorted beaties on display in your poem shouldn't be too trauamatic for kiddies, should they? This poem has a great rhythm and sense of fun; not too scary for little ones raised on Halloween hoopla. I particularly like the monsters' onomatoepia as they alternatively grumble, groan, growl and moan. A fun poem with a ready audience.

Thanks so much, Mark. Yep, now that I have Sawyer to consider, I have to make my Halloween poems less grisly than those from prior years. Brooke
