Beautifully penned throughout its rhymed structured creepy storylines stanzas.
Were you thinking of a bunyip when you wrote it? I really did enjoyed it the whole way through. Great joyful job!

I think this is a good entry for the Halloween Poetry contest.
Your verse is well written and well rhymed.
The story of the Mulahad is well told.
Good luck to you with the contest.
Sharon

Hi Craig. This is a very good Halloween post that I enjoyed reading. Nice cadence and rhyme. I like the stark presentation. Last line is the best. Marilyn

Hello CD, this is really very well written, with good rhyme and rhythm maintained throughout. The Mulahad tends to change its hunting habits - Stanza 1 and Stanza 5, LOL! A good, spooky Halloween poem that will scare the pants off children - they'll be afraid to go to bed. Great last line! A great choice of picture, enough to scare anyone - Nosferatu? A great contender for the contest - good luck. Regards Dorothy

    Yep, you got the origin of the picture, Dorothy. No weaseling out, you caught me on the switch-around (1 & 5) -- I'm going to have to take a look at that! Thanks for the catch, and the great comments. Craig

This is one of the best Halloween Horror poems I've read this year! It's scary, the rhyme and the rhythm are absolutely wonderful!! It makes you scared of the demon that eats people. The best part was at the end where it says "I beg you do not turn around!"
Good luck with the contest! I have a feeling this might have put you over the top!
Patty

You scared me silly - thanks a lot,
I'm sitting here in fear!
That Mulahad is creeping close -
its breath is in my ear.

But I'm pretending I am deaf
and that my nose is dead,
'cuz Craig, it stinks, I beg you man -
stay out of my damn head!

Lol. Exceptional, you! (NOT turning around!!!)

    Haha. You'd be a bit on the nose if you hadn't showered for 357 years too, Dawn. Thanks for the wonderful rating and the delightful poem. Cheers, Craig

This is a wonderful Halloween poem and has great flow-making it very easy to read. I enjoyed it very much. Not sure I caught the joke. Good luck in the contest and Happy Halloween ð???!

    The joke's a bit obscure, I must admit. Once I give a clue it will be more obvious. Thanks for the kind wishes, the lovely comments and the very generous rating. Most grateful -- Craig

I love this one. You set the scene in graphic detail, leading the reader to the final scare. Yikes.
I would chose a different font. I find this one hard to read. Might just be me, haha, bravo, judester

This is a vividly descriptive piece. Ballad stanza is the perfect vehicle for your gruesome story. I'm trying to visualize those teeth--7 inches long,
top and bottom=14. WHEW! I didn't catch the joke! That's par for the course for me!

A very well-written Halloween poem about the Mulahad creature that seeks its prey out very carefully during the day. Wait till Halloween night to feast on the children and gobble down their treats.
