Halloween Writing Contest!
When I saw the announcement for the Halloweensie Writing Contest, I couldn’t wait to enter! I enjoy entering contests and challenging myself with new topics. Halloween has so much to offer in material – you can be funny, sweet, scary, nostalgic, the list goes on! The contest rules are posted here.
The short version of the challenge is to write a 100-word or less Halloween story suitable for children, using the words’ wings,’ ‘spell,’ and ‘fog.’
This contest is run by Susanna Hill, and your entry is submitted as part of a WordPress blog. This contest drew 333 people to give it a try! Keep scrolling, and you will see that Susanna listed all entries and gave links to make it easy to find any author/topic. I am entry 308. The top 12 entries will be posted soon, and we will be able to vote on our favorites. The prizes are incredible, and I can’t wait to see who wins.
I am already looking forward to entering next year. She has other contests too; I encourage you to check them out!
My Entry
Mischievous Pixie
By Annette G. Teepe
(98 words)
Pamela Pixie giggled with glee,
“Halloween is here, the first for me!”
Party first, real fun next,
Spells to cast, humans to hex!
She couldn’t wait to join in the fun,
She wanted to learn how it was done.
Foggy flight, wings flashing in moonlight,
To be tricksters, startle, and fright!
She watched each move, quick to learn,
Eagerly waiting for her turn.
Yanked on a cape, casually draped,
Quick head turned, easily escaped!
Tickled necks, snagged candy treats
Confounded those on darkened streets
Fun to be a pixie on this night
Causing trouble, but out of sight!
