This is a perfect Halloween poem and I really thought it was original and incredibly well written. I think this really deserves the six stars I gave it. You have done a really wonderful job.

I really loved these words and art work a lot.
It would certainly be very scary meeting these skeletons.
Creatures from the air couldn't have their fill.

Comment from Trybuck
Their wails could be heard for miles around
Sadly, that sound brought no smiles to town
Until, Clarence the Clown shed his grave gown
Displaying a fine array of bundled up bones
that creaked and squeaked when he walked
or tried to walk for his old bones balked
like they had been chalked with black rust
causing Clumsy Clarence to meet the dust
With mouth frozen in a forever smile
and a blue ball where his nose once grew
Just so you know this story is about through
For what everyone thought was wails of torment
was actually wails of laughter at Clarence the Clown
Doing his bestest to talk and maneuver around
Until at last, he finally laid back down
Well done, Buck

The perfect Haloween verse, Brooke. Have to bookcase this one, it is a classic. Right up there with "The Night Before Chistmas".
You capture the essence of this holiday in all of its creepy, scary glory.
Wish I had a six left.
Hugs,d

Really cool poem. I read it aloud just or kicks and it sounded so good. I liked the folklore feeling in the poem. Great imagery and the choice of key words kept it moving. Great poem. Gretchen
