It’s rotting flesh falling, spirit’s most appalling, with it's hot breath seething, slowly chokes my breathing.

Gosh my dear sweet SV - this is something completely different from you - but I love it! That pictures quite terrifying and your brilliant, so brilliant crafted words go so well with it! Just shows what a great writer you are being able to take on any genre. Very impressed. Good luck in the contest - I too, think it’s a winner :) Love and smiles :):)

Christina I just saw this comment. Thank you so much. It was kind of a fun write, if you could call it that. The judge of the contest obviously didn't think it was any good, but I had fun and your comment is delightful, along with Linda's

Dear SV, this spooky event is like a nightmare made just for Halloween. Every nerve-tingling element is well conveyed in the writing. Unfortunately, I have been out of the loop and only recently learned that you have begun releasing your lovely poetry.

I trust your out of the loop absence is for a delightful reason. If not, please Email me, as you know I care and will gladly make time to chat. I hope this did not "tingle your nerves too much " Thank you for your ever-welcomed words. Best wishes my friend.

I did mine incorrectly, and Dilly Dally told me to look at the check list posted by the sponsor. I am still not sure if I have it anywhere close to being right, but its a challenge trying. GL to you with the results.
