Notes About The Poem

 Spooky Halloween Rhyme Sponsored by: Tania Kitchin.

Spooky Halloween

Spooky Ghostly Halloween 
the sky looks like velveteen. 
Wild loud howls, nowhere to be seen, 
echo through of the wolverine. 

The citrine moon hangs, high, 
a wicked smile, cunning, and sly.
In a blink of a dominant eye
bats chase the clouds across the sky. 

Eerie, Pumpkin Head quite brickle, 
waving its sharp rusty sickle. 
Haunting nightmares hairs prickle 
as crows fickle blood caw, caw trickle. 

In the old manor her ghostly spirit
appears roaming through it. Do you see it?

Wow, this is such a spooky poem, perfect for the eerie ambience of Halloween and to be honest, I enjoyed reading this so much! Your rhymes are really clever and the way you played with words here, creating dark imageries, ah, just amazing! I love so many lines here "the sky looks like velveteen", "The citrine moon hangs, high", "waving its sharp rusty sickle" Absolutely brilliant! A Fav definitely!!

A good description for Halloween. Good poem, (especially the second verse) and pictures. Well written.

The way you paint imagery is beyond impeccable dear talented soul, i am in awe of the way you’ve written this haunting and dark halloween themed poetic tale in such a descriptive and creative manner, i especially love the moon line and the way you’ve also written “ as crows fickle blood caw, caw trickle” clever wordplay and alliterations! Excellent rhymes! definitely a fave for me
