Cara Ellison Halbirt · 4 weeks ago

First, great job on your poem. My daughter has to recite one once a month in her 2nd grade class. Second, I love your name. Third, last time I was involved in a last minute poem project, I was in the 3rd grade & I told my Mom I was done with my homework so I could go to the rodeo on a school night. But I wasn't. Late night at the rodeo=bad free verse about rodeo clowns. But I bet you'd never do anything like that. ;-). Have a great Wednesday, Violette.

Ms. Violette Brogan, THAT is a wonderful poem. I watched it THREE times because I enjoyed the surprise ending so much. I, also, like that you have memorized it for presentation. You have put real thought and hard work into giving you audience something of value. Please, ask your dad what it means when people say, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree."

I have witnessed the reading of the jack-o-lantern poem and judged it to be an excellent metaphor for the quest for identity in modern culture. Especially the sudden display of existential conflict at the end. Masterful! ;)

OK, pretty frickin' adorable. The highlights? When she looks off to the side to remember the next line, and (of course) the signoff. Be sure to play this at her wedding. =)

I am probably a bit late to help with the project, but I did watch Violette's recitation of "Jack o' Lantern, Jack o' Lantern" (just making an intuitive stab at the title). Brilliant.

Watched the video. Will be interesting to see how Violette uses social media for other things in the future :)

Hi! I saw your video Violette and think it's pretty cool. The ending rocked. :-)

My little kids (2 & 5) don't have any good jokes for Trick or Treating on Halloween, so I hope you won't mind if they "borrow" your poem to tell people here in the Netherlands! Your poem is going global!

I watched Violette recite "Jack-O-Lantern, Jack-O-Lantern" and I must say - I was strangely convicted since my head is also empty and I fear I will someday too end up in a pumpkin pie. Yet still - quite enjoyable! Great read V!!!
