Halloween Poem

It's that time of year again! "What time of year?" you're thinking. Halloween, duh. Every Halloween for the last three years I have written a cute Halloween poem. So here's this year's:

Down the haunted gravel road
Across the haunted bridge.
Through the haunted pumpkin patch
Beyond the haunted ridge.

I walk to school each foggy morn
With no one else but me
And say "hello" to headless ghosts
And wave to haunted trees.

And with a grin upon my face,
I guess I'm pretty brave.
I'm not afraid of eyes that gaze
From far beyond the grave.

I'm not afraid of creepy ghouls
That lurk in murky ponds,
I'm not afraid of witches
Or their warts or magic wands.

I'm not afraid of screaming winds
I'm not afraid of lightning,
Cause if I'm late for class,
My teacher turns out much more frightening!

Please, please, please can I be in charge of compiling your poems and publishing it?

almost as good as the halloween shoes. How long does it take to write one of these. I try to write a poem for my British Lit. class and it takes forever!

For reals though. You really need to publish your poems. They bring me back to the Shel Silverstien days. I'm not kidding you seriously need to compile, illustrate and publish. For reals. This is not a joke. Do it. Do it now. NOW!

It is April and the season changes, but reading this now makes me yearn for past ages.
