This is a very well written poem for the Are You Afraid writing prompt. You used very good rhymes and art work. I am with you on Halloween. We don't do it either. Best wishes in the contest. Blessings, Teri

This is really cute! And a great poem for the contest! I've got to get on the ball and write mine! I'm so slow these days I guess I've been so tied up with taking care of my mom that time slipping away but your talent sure is right on target!

Thanks for the encouraging review. I am thinking also of bringing my mom to live with us. I know that it might be stressful and time consuming, but such a small sacrifice for all she has done for me. I wish you and your mom a Merry Christmas and all the best for this new year. Cheers, j

Oh, NO, Judy!
Really?
Halloween is like...well...like ten times more fun that Christmas.
Christmas is a "nice, warm & fuzzy" kinda holiday.
The day we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
But there's still a lot to be said for Halloween too.
Haunted houses, weekend horror movie marathons, drinking hot apple cider spiced with cinnamon while walking with your lover beneath a full moon.
And I haven't even mentioned Michael Jackson's Thriller! yet.
There's enough fun and love inside of me to enjoy both holidays.
Suck it up, Buttercup, and face your fears.
One day you'll be glad you did.
Best wishes to you in the contest.
~Dean

I developed quickly a phobia for the winner take all contest. I do LOVE Halloween! I have a great fox mask that I wear with a red cape, I just, uh found it one day heh heh.
I must say I was so pleased to see the photo of you and your little dog. I always wondered about the face behind the macabre musings. Thanks for the wonderful review reminding me of the reasons we adore the unique and chilling joy of Halloween. Cheers, judester

Halloween is a bit scary at times because there is so much danger out there for one and all. It is the time the evil comes to the surface.

Thanks for the review. It is those scary clowns that were wandering around a few years ago. Out in cornfields or walking down some country road. Yikes. Cheers, j
