I personally hate Halloween above all masks celebrating days because of their really dark side! You never know what is the other side of the moon! Believe me many strage things have happened during such horrible feast.Now let's go back to your gorgeous beautiful irregular, different sized stanzaic versification that I have really appreciated and enjoyed throughout its flow and interspaced intervals and sectorial sections. I really loved it! Great work !

In my opinion, a charming and fun Halloween poem, certainly celebrating the season in merry style - well constructed in smooth rhythm and rhyme, and complies perfectly with the prompt - best of luck in the contest...

A very well-written Halloween poem for children. Witches like children to come around, they are easy prey when the time is right. Their good pure hearts will not suspect anything until it is too late.

Do you want to leave a space between the intro stanza and the 'friendly' witch's lines that follow?

You strike a nice balance here between scary and humorous, as the hostess finds more and more things that indicate she my not be quite as nice as she pretends. Nice rhyme and solid anapaestic meter.

    Thank you for your review and comments. I wondered about which direction to go with them getting away or not. I think it's funner this way.... she'll just have to try harder next year. LOL

This is a great Halloween poem -- love all the clever ways you've portrayed the witch through her familiars and her housekeeping. I'm thinking that you might have carried the end of your poem too long. It would be, perhaps, more mysterious without the invite to come again the next year. The ambiguity would cause the reader to consider the fate of the children...did they stay or run away?

I like how you changed the font and color scheme when the witch's voice starts. I think it's worrisome things like real scary people (not necessarily 'witches') and that people don't know their neighbors as well anymore, that kids don't seem to do much trick o' treating lately. Or not in our neighborhood, maybe.
