This is a creepy poem. Watch out for all those little things going bump in the night. It might be Mr. Creep or Mr. Reap.--Excellent names for your characters, fun by they conjure scary images.
I like the fun rhyming scheme and the way it loops itself back to the beginning rhyme.

    We were so busy with at least a hundred. I was worried we wouldn't have enough candy so I bought a box of fidget toys and they were a hit.

This piece read well and easily. The quick pace made it seem like there were things just out of arms reach that were coming for me. I felt aware of the space I was in, wanting to be aware and stay alert, waiting for someone or something to jump at me.

This is a very well written piece of Halloween poetry in which the poet describes the scene very vividly. I wondered whether "slimmest thread" might read better as "thinnest thread" because it would be alliterative but it is, of course, your poem. Well done

    Yes, thinnest thread also works nicely in the spot. I do try to avoid to much alliteration.

This has a great rhyming pattern which gives it a dance like rhythm. Monster Mashish.

The Halloween pieces are great, and this is no exception!

You have to know I'd gravitate
to anything that you create,
but please, I quiver and debate -
to read a verse that's by a mate
and sure to keep me up quite late...? (*grin*)

Oh, Robert, you scared me! Of course I'm a scardy-cat and especially on All Hallows Eve! Spooky good in rhyming poetry.

Sending you my best today as always, and a Happy Halloween to you both.

Very nice Halloween poem, Robert. I don't think I've seen that rhyme scheme before. It flows very nicely. I think this is a good poem middle age children.
