Hi Pat ~ Rejoice always! Author Icon,

I am Lorraine and I am reviewing your piece "Invalid Item" Open in new Window. in affiliation with "Simply Positive Review Forum " Open in new Window..

*Flowerw* This is a review from "WdC Kind Hearts" Open in new Window. *Flowerw*


Title: Halloween 'tis indeed a frightful night! Suitable title, something a little different than the many poems named, "Halloween", I myself am guilty of that!

First Impression: An enjoyable children's poem about monsters roaming the streets at Halloween. Just a note that I found this through hitting random review, I notice it's a strange item to review at this time of year, but who cares? *Smile*

Flow/Form: I'm not well-versed on poetry forms, and since you didn't mention any I'm assuming it's free form with some structure that you've created yourself to promote flow. Do correct me if I'm wrong! You've got a structure of 4 lines per stanza and very similar syllable counts per line, although they aren't always exactly the same, which is the reason I doubt a form was used. The use of the similar counts and line counts promotes a good rhythm throughout your poem, and one that's got a beat when read out loud, I'm sure children would enjoy the sing-song way this could be read.

Rhyme: You've got an abca rhyme scheme that helps the flow and allows each stanza to stand alone, as it is wrapped up with the similar rhyme from the beginning. Good job. *Thumbsup*

Word Choice: You've chosen quite simplistic words, which is understandable as this is aimed at children. The simple words were well chosen for your target audience.

Spelling/Grammar: No errors spotted! *Smile*

Closing Thoughts: Thanks for the entertaining little read. I'm glad I stumbled across this poem today!

Lorraine
