This is a good one for the club challenge. A endless pit would pretty much do away with your tormentors. This is a well-crafted acrostic and Happy should be happier since revenge is sweet.

    Haha, Beth this is so not me, so I softened Happy's treatment and now he only put them in an empty pit. Maybe he will let them out on good behavior. LOL. I am not a horror person so this was different for me.
    Thanks for the fun review and comments tho. Did you know there were two of these for you. I hope you get credit for two. Love, Debi

This is well written for the club event and I enjoyed listening to it very much. I suppose you probably got the message that my surgery has been delayed by one day. I will be having it tomorrow afternoon at around three 330 Pacific Coast time. Patricia.

    LOL, Patricia, Haha, this is so far out of my comfort zone that I do not watch horror movies, would not allow my kids to watch them, I never made horror type costumes for them, and we just didn't do the blood and guts thing here.
    SO WHAT HAPPENED TO ME TODAY??
    I don't know? I was writing away and Happy was supposed to stay happy and all of a sudden a dark side came over me, and lo and behold, it was kinda fun... so I went with it... LOL.
    However, I did soften it to empty pit instead of endless pit.

    Thanks so much Patricia, and good luck with your procedure and know so many are praying for you. Love you sweetie. Debi

Terrific Halloween acrostic. It's my favorite holiday an we're getting ready to put up our 12 ft werewolf, and our large skeleton. I always enjoy your poetry.

Your acrostic poem reads well, like the story it tells. I was a little confused about Happy's plan for revenge. It this is based on truth, it's too bad the clown was vandalized. Have a blessed week. Carol

    Carol, this is so far out of my comfort zone that I do not watch horror movies, would not allow my kids to watch them, I never made horror type costumes for them, and we just didn't do the blood and guts thing here.

    I don't know? I was writing away and Happy was supposed to stay happy and all of a sudden a dark side came over me, and lo and behold, it was kinda fun... so I went with it... LOL.
    And I thought, ok, it is Halloween, after all. So here is how the story went. These guys beat up Happy so he got revenge. It was a part of the haunted house theme, but I did soften it from endless pit to and empty pit.
    And of course none of it would ever be true. It was my imagination had a little fun for a change, I guess. Thanks for the kind comments, Carol.
    You have a blessed week too, hon. Love ya. Debi

    I was surprised you wrote a horror poem. But sometimes one has to stretch the boundaries a little. LOL. Love you back!

    I surprised myself on that one, Carol. Now that I have done it, I probably never do it again.

A few years ago, I found out my sister was afraid of clowns. I never knew. I reminded her they were people in makeup. She said she's afraid of the makeup.

Your acrostic poem is about a sweet clown named Happy, the happy clown. But wait! There's more. The people beat Happy. Now, he proved he's not sweet. Revenge is sweet. What an entertaining story. I loved it.

They "beat" the makeup off his face??? Heavenly days, Debi, that is pretty gruesome, but then, I guess this poem is supposed to be horrifying. You did a good job. And your haunted house definitely was! And endless pit?! Now that is horrifying!
Hope your eye is doing better.
I'm off to enter a big contest.
Take care, Miss Deb,
Kay

And why would you not name a clown "Happy" - isn't that the emotion clowns are meant to represent? Yet, how many children are terrified of these goofy-looking ghouls with painted faces!

No treats at Happy's, just tricks.

I'm so glad you gave this club a try!

Good one, Debi!
This acrostic went from a sweet innocent poem to a dark, gritty piece of revenge.... and you wrote it just as requested. those clowns are always smiling but you wonder what's going on behind that face...now we know. LOOK OUT!
Smiles, Carol

    Hi Carol, did I shock you a little with this one. Haha, this is so far out of my comfort zone that I do not watch horror movies, would not allow my kids to watch them, I never made horror type costumes for them, and we just didn't do the blood and guts thing here.
    SO WHAT HAPPENED TO ME TODAY??
    I don't know? I was writing away and Happy was supposed to stay happy and all of a sudden a dark side came over me, and lo and behold, it was kinda fun... so I went with it... LOL.
    I did however soften the punishment to an empty pit instead of endless pit. They may get out for good behavior. LOL
    Thanks for having some fun with me today, my very dear friend.
    Love, Debi

Well done with this, you've sure written a beautiful.poem Debi, and woven it around a tale of a clown who managed to get his own back on the being(s) haunting the building, that's quite an achievement, impervious to the frightening thing, beautifully written, Debi, blessings Roy

    I don't know? I was writing away and Happy was supposed to stay happy and all of a sudden a dark side came over me, and lo and behold, it was kinda fun... so I went with it... LOL. However, I did go back and change it from endless pit to empty pit. That way they may get out of there for good behavior. LOL.. thanks for having some fun with me, my dear friend.
