I really love this Halloween poem. I think it will take some beating in the contest. It is so well written, fun and perfectly rhymed. A definate 6*s. Good luck and best wishes. Jen.

I won't look behind for sure.
Great rhyme and superb cadence throughout. What a great Halloween treat for us all. Blood, gore and hapless souls. Nothing wrong here is there? Thank you

There should be more of it. Ask my other half, she is a horror freak, can't get enough blood and gore. Me, I'm actually a bit of a wimp. This was therapy. Thanks for the terrific review :) Craig

I'm happy I had a six left to award this because it is such a well written poem that was enjoyable and easy to read. I'm at the computer as we speak. The computer is on my desk. Dare I turn around? I'm not being too quiet though because I'm tapping away...

....goodbye cruel world...I was too loud and now I'm Muluhad's brekky...

** Good luck in the contest ** were the last words she said

This is really good and an excellent contest entry. I wonder what can be done to keep this beast at bay. It sounds like that at night the hunger comes upon it and it just has a feeding frenzy. I like it C.D and enjoyed reading this well written work. Well done and good luck in the contest.

Very spooky Richards. I was very impressed by your dark tale your malevolent Mulahad monster and how he feast on the minds and bodies of piece gobbling them up as if they were nothing but candy. Great rhythms with this piece. The Nosferatu illustration you used for your art work was a nice touch as well. Great job with this poem.

This is a fantastic and appropriately creepy poem for the Halloween prompt. You have utilized a rich variety of vocab that brings the horror to life. Best of luck!

CD - I'm not poet, so can only respond to the piece itself. Moved along, kept my interest and certainly well written for the contest. Paired with great artwork. Bill

A true Halloween scary beastie poem! I think Dean would be proud not only of the macabre theme but also of your well-metered verse that is full of assonance and descriptive verbs! And love the dramatic ending!
