I recently joined the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators since they have loads of resources, including monthly themed illustration contests to get your work noticed.  Below is my submission for the prompt "Fright." 

My relatives like to tell me about a memory they have of me when I was little.  When my cousin looked down at a drawing I was making of a haunted house with a witch silhouetted in the window, she asked what the picture was of.  I looked up at her with squinty eyes and my best scary, scratchy voice and said, "It's the scare window!"  I guess I still haven't outgrown my love of scare windows, witches, full moons, and nighttime adventures...


She stood in the doorway on Halloween night, 
Hat angled and bending to a crooked height.
Whether good witch or bad, the sight caused a fright.
