A Trickster Cometh

Along street’s he’s casing, unseen in control Sickles and Scythes, double edged swords One hooks the young, other catches the old And for winding up days, gets a tidy reward Not diamonds or rubies, platinum nor gold But fruits, and candies, his Halloween hoard Bitesize Poem no.54 Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Line Gauthier 10/22/22

I’m also developing a penchant for the bite size poem, this one was probably going to turn into a halloween bloodbath, so I tried restraint and was happy with the sugar and spice outcome, cheers David

Trick or treater's [what we call children here], be on the look-out this year, my word, tricksters have multiplied, best to hide and seek! Great bite size David K brought me a smile ~Anaya

The poor kids have a lot of competition as always Anaya, their costumes are fabulous, down to the last detail, still it’s tradition to try scare the hell out of each other in a friendly way, thanks so much for stopping by, cheers David

This poetry, which was written with a lot of creativity, paints a magnificent image regarding Halloween festivities. David, you have written this quite well. This should be a winner.

Thanks Lasaad, I was always trying to mislead the reader into a dark oncoming demise, using dubious wording, a second read I think will exonerate the game, cheers David
