very nicely written halloween poem. I like it thanks for sharing this with us and thanks for entering into my contest.

This is stunning. I like the effect of starting with the moon, the image of moonlight you create lingers through the entire poem. You have definately captured something about the silence and peacefulness of Samhain in your poem. Well done this is beautiful from start to finish.

This was such a beautiful poem! It totally encompassed what a Wiccan should feel for Samhain, and this was also very well written.
You timed all the lines well, and allowed description to mix with emotion.
A really great poem, well done!

Thank you so much. It just flowed right out of e. I just remember what it was like during my first Samhain as the real me.
