You just have to be a very seasoned poet, because I haven't seen work this great in a very long time. I'm assuming you are already on the market. If not, you should be. If its alright, I want to bookmark this page to share this quatrain with my daughter. She is very wise beyond her nine years, and anything I can do to inspire and provoke her amazing abilities, I do. She loves poetry and she loves spooky stuff. She will adore this one. You are fabulous. Best of luck!

    Thank you so much for taking the time to read and review my words. I would be very proud to have you share this with your daughter. If you jump on my FS profile, I have quite a few that are for children or young adults. While I am 60 years seasoned, no, sigh, I am not published. I don't have the funds to do it myself, and I just can't seem to get it together enough to prepare a publisher submission. Though I dream of doing it one day soon. I would love to hear from your daughter what she thinks too. Thanks for the stars!

Well done, my heart knew fear while reading.

No spag issues caught my eye, good form.

Perfect timing for this, I love October. Great image for this, too. :) Carrie

    Thank you for taking the time to read and review my words. I had fun with this and hope that it was fun for you too--even if it was a little spooky.

A great combination of two forms; I really like the monotetra repeat lines, and you've told the story well, for a fun read. Good job!

As Ichabod,(no comma) rode from the dance
passed by the mill and neared the trees,

to touch the fleeing teachers (teacher's) back

    Thank you for the catch. I do need to have more coffee, then do a final edit before I release these. I appreciate the read, the review and the stars!
