I'm back, Brooke. It is really hard to resist these Halloween pieces. I do believe Halloween is for kids, but this time of the year, aren't we all kids? Enjoyed this immensely. Take care, Kid.

I truly believe young readers would enjoy this poem, Brooke, about jack-o-lanterns and friends "who watch your back."
Good description of all the ghoulies that Jack scares off.
The cadence and rhymes are flawless and really make this poem work.
Rod

The imaginary friend and protector that I'm sure we all dreamed up as toddlers. But I swear he was there to cover my back when calamity struck as the pendulum sang the tune of the midnight hour . Well done, Brooke.

What a fun read, Brooke, I think I may meet Jack this year. LOL I love how he has Sawyers back, and I totally love the three pictures of Sawyers growth trip to the pumpkin patch. The time sure flies, my friend. God bless you and Happy Halloween. Blessings

So very cute. What a niceJsck O' Lantern! I always thought they supposed to be scary. He still does his traditional job, keeping bad spirits away. A fun Halloween poem, perfect for the little ones...

Excellent piece, nicely penned and presented. Jack doesn't have my back, but I keep witches' balls by both the front and back doors just in case.

I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful piece and absolutely love the idea of the Jack-o-lantern becoming the body guard. God bless!

Jack O'Lantern seems to be a very handy man to know. I wish somebody would have my back in this way. I suppose there are a few people I could call on if required, but I like to fight my own battles.
