Hi Christine. This was a fun-to-read story poem that held my interest all the way through--the dream, the trick-or-treaters, and locking the door after they left. Marilyn

You may want to punctuate stop me in my tracks with a '?' mark. It is uninteresting story of a Halloween night to complement the picture challenge Blessings. Hope you
have a good time.

    Hi frierajac. Thanks for your review but I am a little confused as to whether you actually liked it or not so ? can you expand on how it is uninteresting . It was fun to write but maybe not to everyones taste although you did give me a 5 Star rating and I apprecaire that very much Cheers Christine

Hi Christine;
Thank you for sharing your interpretation of the 'Picture This' challenge. I really enjoyed your take on the art, and could see the images your words created clearly.

A very well-written Halloween poem and an excellent interpretation of the picture this challenge. A time for the dead and witches to rule the night us better to stay safely home.

    Hi Sandra, Thanks for your review and I am looking forward to reading everyones poems. I had fun with my story and enjoy these challenges. In Australia Halloween is not a tradition except with the young kids they have taken it on but as a kid I never did. But will be inside on the night LOL Cheers my friend Christine

The highlight for me, reading this deftly written and presented interpretation of the picture this prompt, was reading the word..."lollies", instead of the omnipresent "candy". I guess we don't celebrate Halloween as vociferously as our distant Northern neighbours, but this is a tasty morsel to read, an usually different style for you, but an excellent, vibrantly written and highly vivid imagery. An excellent post Christine, well done, blessings, Roy

Very suspenseful tale in verse! I like how you created a story and pulled back into reality giving the narrator a double take after the frightful dream. And then it ends with a lingering fear that remains just like after watching a frightening film.
