October days are passing
The Night of the Dead
Is naught but multi tasking
Searching for children who have fled
***
This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a frightful read.

The picture is great for your poem. I think your poem is excellent for the Halloween contest. Good luck! I like the theme of it. Witches after children on Halloween night. Beware! Enjoyed!

very nice entry in the halloween contest
the Monchielle is a fine form of poetry
good rhyme scheme I must admit it did try to trick me up a little when lines 2 and 4 in the first stanza was a near rhyme it almost threw me off the track of the real rhyme scheme
I am not sure about the comma between "seeking the blood" in stanza 3
I am an extreme novice in writing so I am certainly not an expert on grammar and such
I have always heard it said "in the blink of an eye" and it is interesting to see "with blink of an eye"
very well done
good luck in the contest
have a smiley day

Hi there;
thank you so much for reading and reviewing. I appreciate your time and the excellent rating. While the saying is normally said, 'in the blink of an eye,' I had to find a way to fit it into the proper syllable count.

I'm really a novice when it comes to poetry, and I like to experiment with the different poetic forms, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around rhythm, meter, and all of that.

Good morning, Patty

I've never heard of this form of poetry called Monchielle. Based on the description you provided, I'd say you've nailed it. Enjoyed.

Take care and stay safe,

ray

Hi Patty. Girl everything about this one suits my mood perfectly. I always thought that this was the way of the witch until I watched Practical Magic then I knew that witches weren't always bad but, some were good. I wish you every success in this contest. xoxo Kiwi

This is a great entry for the contest. The rhyming scheme, and all other requirements for this entry were met perfectly. The content confirms my feelings for Halloween witches, there are some! Great job.

I have never heard of the Monchielle poetry form before so I cannot judge you on the form, but your poem is a delight to read. The artwork complements your work.
