~* What Or Who Am I? *~  Time for Halloween. So let's all have us some fun, Want to play a game? On “All Hallow’s Eve”, Tell us what you are wearing By writing a poem. Since I thought this up  Then I will have to go first. Ready? Guess what I am ... Four feet on the ground, Sneak but never make a sound Except if I howl. * *  That one was easy, Did you get the idea? It is your turn now.  Happy Hauntings To You Everyone! [This message has been edited by Mysteria (10-25-2003 08:14 PM).] |

This is just to cool. Right at the moment you wouldn't want to know what I'm wearing. Since I have a cold I look like something the cat dragged in. Happy writing. The Chocolate Monster is in the house.  |

I scared Mister Ribbits the frog off the fallen log in the bog and the neighbor’s dog squealed like a stuck hog when he looked up at me in the chilling fog. Now, who or what can I be? |

Well...if you were overseas you could be the Loch Ness Monster, or if you were here you could be a Susquatch. then again if you are down south you could be an alligator, but if you were around me you could be a MOUSE! Eeek! Well, perhaps you are the moon? I give up, what are you? LOL |

He's a caped villan with teeth to bite awakened from his casket after the light a doer of cursed deeds that casts a spell untold misery plagues man or woman that hear his knell.. if they lived by day, now they rises at night to follow his commandment at the first starlight you'd notice a glaze in their eyes as they approached and wonder about their purpose as fear encroached... it began as a legend of a ruthless prince, we're told he'd cut off the heads of enemies, mount them on poles he'd turn into a wolf or a bat if it mattered a change of form when his spirit was battered... but you could keep the molesting spirit at bay with a cross in his face his legs would sway or a wreath of garlic around windows of your room to prevent his entrance and the moment of your doom. Happy Trick or Treat!! [This message has been edited by ecrivan (10-26-2003 12:50 AM).] |

A test in rhyme is what you ask? I vow this person is your task. A sickly youth was this one’s lot; He toughened out and grew a lot. As dutiful son, he went to work And found a job as government clerk. But writing was his heart’s desire; The stories came out, quire by quire. When London’s Lyceum came to call He took bride Florence for a ball. Tho’ many’s the tale he aptly wove There’s one which gets your heart to move. Dang...this is supposed to be Senryu. Oops, let me try again. Through rubble and trouble and dark of night The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light [This message has been edited by kayjay (10-27-2003 10:13 PM).] |

I hope this is a bit more like you had in mind? What a great challenge! Ken A puzzle in rhyme It’s mysterious in time Worth more than a dime Born in Ireland Where he grew to be a man Writing gave him fans But being nervous Within the civil service Still tried to serve us. His stories were good; They could scare us like they should, Now just think of wood. To London he went With his lovely bride, Florence. His writing made cents. Who is he?

Balladeer, you mean people can ignore you I am still thinking - the only king I can think of that had one eye was Balor, the God of Death in irish folklore, so I know that is not you right? Dracula is too easy and not right, is it? See, confused that is all.KayJay you have me stumped too, and I am thinking about this too, good thing I didn't say wear masks or I would be really confused by now.  |

No, It is not a bat! It is a PIP poet! (And you are so hard to fool - thought you would get it right away) The blue pages have turned to sunset orange. Alright! I mystified Mysteria! Yes! Fun Game, but Noah had me stumped Liz |

Be it Halloween? Rightly do I preen. Am I to add a clue? Maybe offer a hint to you? Soft at night, my creature swells To inflict his fearsome spells Often too, he might, perhaps Keep the bodies from their caps Early morn will bring him home Really now, you know him too!
