Comment from Nicki.B
Excellent, I thoroughly enjoyed this. I love a scary poem , especially one written as good as this with wonder rhyme and rhyme! A brilliant entry for the contest. The image is a perfect fit and I love how you have added some scary musical favourites also. I love the repeated refrain aswell. Well done and good luck!
Best Wishes

Hi Nicki, you know me as mostly a poet but even this prompt was a little unusual for me with trying to keep it straight all the different lines that needed to be repeated. I was constantly editing and changing it so I had to make sure I did the one that I repeated too. So it was quite the challenge. But it was fun too. Thanks so much for your sweet comments

Well you did fantastic all your hard work and editing paid off, a great poem! So well done x

Oh and I meant to say, thank you so very much for your generous six stars too!!!! They meant a lot to me. Thanks for the big smile.

Unfortunately, I must confess I am not a poet, nor do I know the rules of writing good poetry. That said, I will say that the story you have offered within your poem is interesting, spooky and entertaining. You've done a great job!
Smiles, Carol

This is a very well written and six star spooky poem you have penned for the contest. I would be spooked if I saw that in my back yard too. You used great descriptive words and spooky imagery from the artwork you chose. Teri

Yes he's an interesting guy- this Cornfield Frankenstein brought to life by 'technology'- a sort of likeable rogue, nevertheless, revising the forgotten 'art' of the scarecrow

Oh my. I like the concept you came up with of a cornfield frankenstein. Never thought of it before but he really is made up of odds and ends. You did a great job on the Pantoum Poem format. thanks for participating in our contest.

Comment from Sally Law
I'm not at all familiar with this form, but I like the repeated lines. It's much like a Baccresieza poem. I'm like a kid that way, learning from repetition. Yes, now that I think about it, a scarecrow is like a Frankenstein of the corn field. No nuts and bolts though! Hahaha!
Great offering in this unique form, mystery poet.
Thank you for the YouTube videos too. A real treat.
Sending along my very best today as always, and my best wishes for the contest.

Comment from EeanBlack
Well, that is creepy. That means it works its magic. I live in a farming community. We don't use scarecrows here, but they did in the old days. When I worked in upstate Pennsylvania, that was a creepy place. It was beautiful, but when winter came and all the foliage died, it was creepy. I loved every second of it. Those are my kind of people up there. lol

Hey sweetie, how did you know it was me? This is a blind contest. LOL.

Comment from dragonpoet
Hi
This is a well written pantoum which tells a story of an imaginative way to make a scarecrow. My question is. Do scarecrows ever scare the crows and other birds away from the crops. I have never seen a moving scare crow before, but it is a good idea. It allows the scarecrow to be in all parts of the field.
Good luck with the prompt.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a great day.
Joan

You are most kindly welcome. I have written a few pantoums and they are like a jigsaw puzzle sometimes. Trying to get all the pieces in the right place.
