Comment from Margaret Snowdon

Excellent

My friend's a Jack-O'-Lantern,
so if you should attack,
prepare for what befalls you --
Jack always has my back.

another treat - does your mind ever rest (say I who can't get to sleep for mine ticking over) - I love the pictures also - watching him change over time - oh, he'll grow up far too quickly.

Margaret, thank you so very much, my friend :-) I'm actually really good at turning off my mind at bed time. Miranda can't do it, but I fall asleep in ten seconds flat :-) Brooke

How cool it would be to have such a guard and protector to watch your back, to protect you from unwanted attack. There are so many really scary things and people out there that we have a real need for protection. One thing we never need protection from is wonderful works of art like the great poetry produced by gifted writers like you.

When little Sawyer grows up, he's going to be the bravest kid on the block. Very well executed tri-meter Halloween piece. Put them all in a book for him.

He is growing fast
That lil man of yours
Soon, he'll be opening doors
That you'd rather stay closed
But at least Jack has his back

Well done as always, Buck

It would be great to have a bodyguard, Brooke - especially if you're ME. :-)

You cover just about anything a kid (or adult) could be scared of and turn it into harmless fun.

Great alliteration in, 'when crows are congregating'.

Almost had me feeling sorry for the 'fangless vampires' - what a POINTLESS existence. :-)

Great fun read.

Best wishes, Ray xx

Jack seems like a sweet little guy. Cute pictures, by the way. Very descriptive, I could envision the ghosts being told off and the werewolves changing. Very well done.
