Icy fingers follow trick or treaters As full moon chills this creepy night of fright. Cold wind tears at their frightening costumes Within her shadows of foreboding light. October 19, 2015 Halloween Moon Contest Sponsor Eve Roper

This is absolutely a stunning poem for Halloween my very dear friend, Connie. I loved it and enjoyed so much the read. And, I noticed that it's a winning piece and it really deserves. Warm Congratulations from me with hugs and kisses!May I also take this chance to express my belated thanks for your loving and sweet greetings on my birthday.

You perfectly described the scene and feelings from trick or treat nights of my youth in Illinois. It was always so cold! but if you put on a coat it hid the costume.

Congrats, Connie, a very well deserved win this is. The questionku is described under forms. It's simply 4/5/6 with last line being a question (except you don't put a question mark, which I find very odd). Try it!!

Connie, really like this. You gave it a sense of tension. Left me wondering what was walking up behind me.

I always feel like that when walking in the dark. Too many movies and T.V. shows I guess, instill that sense of fear. Thank you for your nice comment James! Cheers, Connie

great job, Connie!!! I love how you made this creepy. I intended to do the same but I ended up making it about the candy instead! soupmail.

Hello Connie... nicely written Connie. It takes a lot to scare off those trick or treaters though - Lindsay

You got that right. The lure of candy wins out! Thanks, Lindsay!

I see the moon...hanging over the unlit creaking church steeple, the wind whistling through the iron gates of the burial ground. and candy corn......lots of candy corn.
