Entering another writing comp. This time it’s Susanna Hill’s Halloweensie Contest.
The challenge: Write a 100 word Halloween story appropriate for children (children here defined as 12 and under) (title not included in the 100 words), using the words skeleton, creep, and mask. My poem/story is below this little cutie 🙂

Trick or Treat Treasure
The skeleton is creeping
While everybody’s sleeping
Guilty heartbeat leaping
For the hidden candy jar.
The skeleton is sneaking
Dusty floorboards creaking
Pining, prowling, peaking
For the hidden candy jar.
The skeleton is grinning
Mask thrown off and spinning
Knows that he is winning
Here’s the hidden candy jar.
The skeleton is munching
Chewing, cracking, crunching
He’s feverishly lunching
From the hidden candy jar.
The skeleton is fleeing
He’s heard his Mummy peeing
Cannot bear her seeing
The EMPTY candy jar.
