Sawyer will soon be able to stir up his on mischief. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for an interesting read.

That's great, Brooke. A very heartwarming take on Halloween. It reminds me of my son and the way he is -- good-hearted, but can be sneaky at times. Anyway, not sure what else to say, but I really enjoyed this one.

drivenbackward - yep, Sawyer has his non-sweet moments too. Of course, when we love them so much, we are secretly proud of the cleverness of their sneakiness. LOL :-) Brooke
Comment from daeneam
Hahaha I would love to see monsters as lovable as Sawyer. I am surprised with how you celebrate Halloween. Here in the Philippines, we celebrate it by reuniting with relatives, going to cemetery, lighting candles and praying for souls to go to heaven. In our school, only one costume party was held and it never happened again because it became a really creepy Halloween party. Some attendees saw ghouls and spirits. c", Mae

Oh, I would take this cute little smiling monster over any scary hairy ghoul any day...I am so sad Brooke. My eldest daughter has been staying with us with her 6 month baby Emma. She smiled all the time and I fell so deeply,in love with her. They are moving to Singapore in January..sigh.
How these grandies get our hearts..I ate a whole bar of chocolate..
God bless

Comment from nomi338
Yes, but how much nicer the wprld be if all of the world's monsters acted out of character in like manner. I magine a world free of fear and horror. Just think how great it would be if the only danger that we had to face was the danger we only imagined was out there and it did not really exist. I love your poem, but I opt for the world without real monsters.

I swear Brooke, I do not know what happens when I start typing. I seem incapable of tying a message without committing typing errors, sorry.
Comment from RYME4U
And what a darling monster he is! What a sweet poem. The rhythm and beat are great and the rhymes are extra good. I love the concept of a friendly monster. Does he know Casper the Ghost>

Thanks so much, RYME4U - I don't know for sure, but I do not think he has been introduced to Casper yet :-) Brooke
Comment from Dawn Munro
Well, I've said it before, but it bears repeating - I could assign a six to everything you write. This is absolutely delightful, Brooke - I have a hard time trying to single out any part of this charming poem. I love every word (but that last stanza comes in 1st.) Grinning big-time. :0)
(No sixes left.):(

Two outfits for one night

Buck, thanks so much - he doesn't wear them both Halloween night :-) There are all kinds of pumpkin patches and events to visit during October and the school parade and party... the child has a busy social calendar. LOL :-) Brooke

...now, you almost have me feeling sympathy for him :)

Comment from ravenblack
I don't know, a polite, kind and cheery monster would be pretty scary to me. It would make me question those without a mask, their rows of sharp teeth...huh...aieghhhh! (Such strange onomatopoeia and even stranger that I managed to spell it correctly on the first try. It must be a full moon. Wha...awooooo! sorry. For some of us, Halloween spirit comes early.

Sawyer is much too cute and sweet to be a monster even for one night. I liked how the poem flowed with rhythm. Sorry no little green monster there.
