Ouch! This is indeed scary. Especially the part about pulling your nails and your hair and then roasting you.
You are very good at this.
Thanks for sharing and scaring.

Holy Halloween Hell, Kerry.
This is absolutely awesome!
From the chilling rhymed couplets, to the music and eerie sound effects, if this is not a contender for top prize in the contest then is there no justice here?
I hope ya win!
Horror Hugs!

Hi, Kerry,

Such a wonderfully, wickedly, delightful poem! The background noise scared Howie and Bernie. They ran out of the room as soon as it started. Your use of the artwork, font, and wonderful storyline should do well in the contest,

Hello Kerry,
Good Grief! The music surely sets the stage for this hauntingly well-crafted Halloween offering! Love the visual imagery...enhanced by the green font.

If I may, you have employed an overabundance of commas that are not essential and/or mechanically correct. Easily omitted from the following stanzas 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 16. Just a suggestion. I always go by the advice of "When in doubt, leave them out."


I thoroughly enjoyed your poem! Thank you!

Hi Kerry,
I read your writing and literally gasp, your creativity has no bounds, always something different, always a little twist.......A wonderful Halloween poem with an excellent finale.
Unfortunately the only thing I can give in return that's remotely scary.....is me....a green eyed monster.

Wow! This is a chilling tale and no fun here, but just serious Halloween mischief! Certainly not for children! Love the rhymes and the ghostly themed chilling sentiments, love Dolly x

I almost missed this work, that would have been such a shame because it's so good. this is haunting and the spooky couplet form is what really sells it. I imagine sitting by a fire, and listening to this tale. outstanding, Kerry..............meeshu

Hi Kerry a formidable list of well written rhyming couplets that get grimmer the further the reader goes. Perfect poem for Halloween when ghosts and goblins are at their best. 'So before you go out this harrowing night, remember... it's children they want... just one bite.' Oooh nasty! Dare we allow our children out. LOL. Well done. Perfectly grisly for a contest entry. Good Luck - regards Dorothy x

I mean if you have candy I'm there so this line spoke to me:
They plot and scheme on Halloween,
on how to lure you with a candy dream...They'd for sure have me.

It made me laugh when you made the comment about it's the children they want. How much creepier can you get?!?! This was perfect.
