It would have been fantastic to get your entry to the contest. But then: I named this the 1st Halloween-poem contest. I figure, if it is a success and people have fun, there might easy be a 2nd one? I hope by then you should be settled in. 😉
I wish you Good Luck with your cross-country move. Take care.

What fun, I might join in but I’m not a great poet, I can just about handle a haiku and that’s it! Shall reblog for you…
LikeLiked by 1 person
Okay… let’s think about this: one haiku = 17 syllables.
My research showed that the average English word has 2.43 syllables.
99 demanded words x 2.43 syllables = 240.57 syllables
240.57 syllables : 17 syllables = 14.15 Haiku to write and deliver – and you’ll be a participant. 😀
Please, join the fun. I would look so forward to read your poem. 🙂

That’s a lot of maths! I suppose I could write a long line of haikus, perhaps!
