Another fine poem, Gypsy----that demon sure gets around, as he haunts my ass too. I know, the hauntee is a kid but does an adult who never grew up count?

Good luck wishes regarding the contest entry, Gypsy. This was definitely a ghoulish poem that was dedicated to Dean Kuch. I liked the dual pictures of the ghoul and then of the skeleton head. Your words were enjoyable in a ghoulish sort of way. Blessed Be n Hugs!!!

Thank you very much, Aryr. I am happy you like it. Whenever I write horror I think of Dean. He loved halloween. Thank you for the exceptional five stars review. May you have a wonderful day. Blessed be.

I can definitely see the Dean Kuch influence with this poem. I am positive he's smiling down, saying, 'Good job, Gypsy.' Thank you for sharing this with us.

I like your Halloween poem - excellent picture presentation- this demon looks a like my own demon back in the day - better living through chemistry- good story - poor girl - at that age - shame on Dad! Good scary tale !! AP

This is spooky. So true, that when children express a fear about things that go bump in the night, they are often dismissed as just an overly imaginative mind. But who knows...
Good luck in the contest.

Quite the ghoulish entry for the Halloween poem contest Gypsy. I hope this wasn't true. I'm still tormented by bad dreams that started when.i was a kid and my parents let me dtay6up late and watch horror movies. Love the Nietzsche quote!
Well done and good luck!

This is sooo cool. I am loving having all of this spooky stuff on here. The boogeyman hiding and taunting and of course no adult will believe the child. Poor kid. To know it's coming for you and be unable to do anything other than wait. Great poem. I miss Dean as well. His horror/thriller/supernatural stuff was absolutely wonderful. Gretchen

Dean loved Halloween most of all. We became close friends. He was funny and kind. Every time I write horror I think of him. We cowrote a book of horror haiku and a fanstory book never published.

You inspired me to start writing halloween poems :)

Thank you for the review and kind words. May you have a wonderful weekend.
