World of the living dead
A distant cackle of a witch
Spells a crafted costume, stitch by stitch.
Clanking bones are moving in the wind,
Jack skeleton winked before he grinned.
Pumpkin heads seem like they're alive,
Glinting in the moonlit drive.
Ghosts and ghouls came out to play,
On this Halloween scary day.
The corpse bride, with her shriveled head,
A scary beauty before she wed.
Sparking an image of fear or dread,
In this world of the living dead,

The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:
The poem "World of the living dead" effectively creates a spooky and atmospheric setting with vivid imagery of Halloween creatures and characters. The use of descriptive language like "distant cackle of a witch," "clanking bones," and "pumpkin heads" helps to paint a clear picture of a haunting scene. The rhyme scheme and rhythm flow smoothly throughout the poem, enhancing its readability.
One suggestion for improvement could be to explore deeper emotions or themes within the poem. While the imagery is strong, adding layers of meaning or exploring the characters' motivations could provide a more nuanced and engaging experience for the reader. Additionally, considering varying the structure or form of the poem could add further interest and creativity to the piece.
Overall, "World of the living dead" effectively captures the essence of Halloween and the supernatural world, but further development of themes or emotions could enhance the depth of the poem.

Good read
Enjoyable poem Tigger. 2 suggestions. Get rid of the first comma after witch and the first 'And' in the last verse. Alex.
