Comment from Cindy McIntyre
This one was crazy fun. I liked your use of the word "moss" and calling the skeleton a little prick with your wordy wisdom made me laugh. :) The ending brings a lot of humor to the piece. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you Cindy for your very nice review
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written frightening Halloween poem. The graveyard is a place not many will dare to visit at night, especially on Halloween night. In this case visiting grandma on Halloween night leaves you with a tale to tell.

Comment from Boogienights
This was wonderful..funny, scary with as one intrigue. One of the best I've read so far. You also rhymed it so beautifully that it was a pleasure to read. Rhyming poems are my favorite. Best of luck to you in the contest.

Comment from Pantygynt
Before I start reviewing this I must bring to your attention that my yesterday's tanka dealt with the same theme as your poem from the previous day - internet dating.
Now for this one.
Like all the best halloween tricks this is based on the ancient Celtic belief that upon this night of the dead, they (the dead) would walk abroad and frighten everybody. The weird disguises taken up by the kids of today are merelyan extension of that ancient belief, that became part of a mendicant tradition - give us a treat or we play a trick on you.

Hi Jim. I will review each of your poems. Right now I am battling sinus and eye infections. Feeling a bit dizzy. Antibiotics should clear both up soon. But I plan to review all of your posts. Thank you for the great review

You are a bit early for Halloween in September by hey ho. ' I hope I find the little prick', that is so funny, that's not like you Pam. Maybe you need a warning for language.
A. Fun write. Take care. Jen. X
