Notes About The Poem

 

 

Spooky and Scary Halloween

Went out with my friends on Halloween night.
Each carried candy filled bag, a flashlight.
Kids floated ahead of us,
Ignored to make such a fuss,
Spooky glow they flickered like candlelight.

Hello Eve, Your Limerick has colour, rhythm, and imagination. A towering work. Now for my Tetractys selection and medal. I’ve been searching for the apt phrase to describe my joy which is difficult. Thank you for assessing my work and the eventual placement. I’m flattered. The contest itself required great discipline and thought but it was a pleasure for me. Hugs and warmth Howard
