Marie! Excellent job! Thank you to all who shared your amazing poems with us. My 15 celebrity judges had a very hard time picking their favorite, commenting on how impressive they all were. Ten out of the fifteen chose the following, so congratulations Marie! Enjoy the Rocky Horror Picture Show!
For my Niece
You can be whatever you want for Halloween,
Frankenstein, Chuck Norris, or even a Prom Queen.
We’ll dance door to door knocking for treats,
While Auntie updates her status with tweets.
The Haunted House is our next stop,
You’ll scream so loud my ears will pop.
It won’t be as scary as the Corn Maze,
But the fog machines will leave you in a haze.
Just when you think we’ve had enough fun,
I will tell you our night has just begun.
We’ll stay in our Costumes for extra delight,
Watching scary movies that will give us Fright.
Eating our treats and screaming frantically in terror,
My Goosebumps liven and I’ll be on the edge of my chair.
After Halloween the Movie we will be too afraid to sleep,
Seeing Michael Meyers face when counting every little sheep.
You’ll have a sore tummy when you wake up the next day,
Remembering our fun night will take the candy pains away.
Magical nights like this will bring a smile to your face,
They will be etched in memories you just can’t erase.
Thinking about it I shiver in anticipation and fear,
This is why Halloween is my favorite time of year.
