I liked your poem! I thought your words captured the "spirit" of a haunted house beautifully. I'm not exactly sure what quatrains are, or what the syllable count should be, but for my part, it didn't interfere with my enjoyment of it. I thought it had great flow. Have you seen/felt any ghosts in your 125 year old house?

I enjoyed reading your poem dejohnsrld, I'm glad you don't really need a rope though. Your poem is cleverly written and well thought out. The picture is great.

    Me too, although my house is truly supposed to be haunted. I've been here 24 years, nothing scary yet. Thanks so much!!! DEbbie

Who needs a syllable count? It read swiftly through without a hiccup. Fun piece. It would be great recorded with eerie sounds behind a witch's voice reciting it. Anyway that's how it read to me.
Oh, your rhyme sounded fine as well, Debbie.

    Thank you. I've been here 24 years and nothing scary except for the occasional bat that sneaks in. You should see me chasing a batin my wheelchair with a big fishnet-now that's funny!!! Debbie

A great Halloween poem. What can I say, you've done it again, composed a perfectly delightful poem. Love the ending! Wierd, but fun.

    I love my house. I was hospitalized in May, and they really tried to get me to go to a nursing home-no way!!! I am staying here. I've been here 24 years, I'm not moving now!!! Thanks ~Debbie

Great job but to make an easier flow try;

Slanted walls

A Creaking floor

Creatures reflect in

Mirrors once more

Instead of:

Slanted walls

Creaking floors

Topic: Good
Flow: Great
Style: very good
structure: very good
Creativity: Awesome
Rhyme: good
Art: HHaunting

Overall:
Great job!!!!!
