Halloween Poem by Stephanie Rigot

this sounds awfully familiar to me. i wonder if you have changed your poemhunter name. i read another very good halloween poem by a 'young girl' this past year. i esp. enjoyed: Moon begins to laugh and whisper 'Tis near Halloween.' and Ye think that without the wild winds shouting But NO. It is they-it is they the witches. ....you might want to put an apostrophe in winds (sic) . especially since the way you used the word without to mean outside (instead of not with/lacking) this could be misread or at least be a slight stumbling block for the readers. of course, since it is 'halloween', maybe you are TRYING to trip someone up. :) and you certainly fit into this poem a lot of halloween stuff (scary stuff) , but in two places at least you used several words which i would say are synonyms........so it seemed those parts are redundant aka superfluous. where is my CANDY! ! ! :) i think i'll send this to MyPoemList.
