Halloween II

[darklotus1211]

A dark, rather mean but humorous poem I wrote a couple of years ago just popped into my head and it's quite fitting for Halloween, so I thought I'd post it. The lovely teddyradiator described it as 'Seriously fun, and deliciously wicked....wonderfully Seussian, in a very warped and twisted way!', which I took as a great compliment

That was absolutely brilliant! I loved it!

You really ought to think about marketing this as a children's storybook. Go find a fabulous illustrator...this is such a wonderful little piece.

Thank you so much for sharing!

Thanks for the rec m'dear and I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

I've written quite a few kids' poems and stories and made them into books for my son and other family over the years, so perhaps I may get them all together one day and see if anyone's interested.

Hope you and the kids had a good Halloween!

I stand by my original assessment - deliciously wicked!

I would love to see this as a children's book. It sounds like something Morticia would read to Pugsley and Wednesday - and little Pubert!

Thanks, teddy! I commented earlier to toby that perhaps I should bundle all of my kids' poems and stories and head off to see if anyone is interested. I used to make them into books for the kids in the family and so they were especially for a particular child, so I didn't want to take that away from them. Nearly all of them are grown now though, so I'd still ask if they minded first, but it's an idea. I'm sure that most of them would quite like the idea of their 'special book' going public now they're older.

I think they would love sharing your amazing talent with the world. Look at Alice K Liddell! ;)

Fantastic....Just a little bit of Lovecraft!!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, it was one of those poems that was great fun to write and I was grinning away in a thouroughly mischeivous manner while I wrote it.

Brilliant! Love the art work too. =)

The sweetness of the poem's tone in conjunction with the dark gore of the subject is just full of awesome. Heeeeeeee.

Thanks m'dear! That's what I was aiming at, and so I'm glad it worked! I was grinning away in a wicked manner as I penned it. I'm glad you had as much fun reading it as I did writing it.

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I had quite a wickedly gleeful grin on my face as I wrote it, and I'm glad the humour came through.
