Halloween is here again
Trick or treating, let's begin
Candy, treats, and lots of tricks
Lollipops and Pixie sticks
Ghosts and ghouls that haunt the night
Giving kids and awful fright
Candles giving jack-o-lanterns their glow
Trying not to walk too slow
A mummy gaurds an eeries door
Spooky stories, creepy lore
Kids in comtumes run through the night
Carrying out their fearsome plight
Monsters lurking everywhere
Look out, there's a spider in you hair!
Windows covered in haunting decor
That one scary house, with tombstones and more
Watch the moon dance across the sky
A werewolf howls, on a broom a witch flies
Halloween is fun for all
It's everybody's favorite part of fall
Have a spooky Halloween
Play some tricks, but don't be mean!

I will not bother to point out the few typos you have in the piece as I can seen two of my co-judges have already done that and so I will not be that redunant to do the smae. I will however, say the same as they have in regards the the quality of this piece. Your flow and creativity was certainly impressive. You have made this a very vivid joy to read. Thank you for entering the contest and the best of luck to you.
Blessings

I think you have done a wonderful job with this poem, the flow is really stunning, except line 7 where the jack-o-lanters made it a bit wobbly, but that's nothing to worry about
I have found some oopsies too:
Line 9 'gaurd' should be 'guard'
Line 9 'eeries' should be 'eerie'
Line 11 'comtumes' should be 'costumes'
Line 14 'you' should be 'your'
Apart from that, you have done a remarkable job!
Thank you for entering the contest, I wish you the best of luck

First, I have to say this piece is very impressive. You did well with the word bank, it flows smoothly, the images are good and it it a true treasure of a piece you've written here. There are a few typos/grammar issues here:
In the 6th line "and" should be "an".
In the 8th line, the rhyme is a bit forced. Honestly I'm not sure where that line ties in with the one above it, makes it a bit choppy there, but not too bad.
In the 9th line you should have "guards" and take the "s" off of eeiree
In the 13th line should be "costumes"
Again, overall I really liked this one, just a few errors in there Best of luck, thanks for entering and happy halloween.

Very good, keep writing.

A werewolf howls, on a broom a witch flys

At first I thought you didn't use all teh words in the word bank, but then I changed my mind... Sorry about that 
LOL very nice write. I forgot you were fifteen or younger when I read this. Really awesome... good luck in the contest!

'Trying not to walk to slow'
This line needs to be read as:
Trying not to walk too slow
Watch your homophones
