Frightful Poetry Contest - Talia G. - 01/30/17
Contest: Winners
Frightful Poetry Contest
Submitted by: Talia G., age 10, Shelburne, VT
A Frightful Halloween
Walking alone on Halloween night
Always will begin and end in a fright
Creepy voices whisper from the dead
Even if I know they are just in my head
Around the corner weird sounds I hear
Makes me want to run home in fear
Curl up in a blanket and eat candy all day
I want to go home and that’s where I’ll stay
No more pranks, no more jokes
No more candy that makes me choke
No more surprises No more disguises
No more fun
I am just done
I run down the road
As jack-o’-lanterns glow
Through my front door
Candy crashes to the floor
Into my bed I jump
Making a very huge kerplump
I’m glad Halloween is gone
Now I can wait for dawn
