We here at TSNW have decided to celebrate the seasons in a creative and enthusiastic way...by having our very own Poetry Slam of sorts.
We have TWO tickets to give away for the live Halloween performance of the Rocky Horror Show at the Actors Cabaret in downtown Eugene:
Submit for our judgment your finest poem or haiku about Autumn, Halloween, etc. and we will choose the very best one. As a team we will select the top five most Autumn-liscious poems this Friday, October 9th and those five will be given a second chance at greatness. The ultimate winner will be declared on Friday, October 16th and awarded tickets to a most excellent show! So with that juicy carrot dangling over your heads I challenge all of you lyrical gangsters out there to present your creative offerings to us. As turnabout is indeed fair play I present my version of an Autumnal Ode to all of you..
At long last summer is officially over,
Time for Autumn to spread it’s wings.
This brings about all sorts of changes,
And more than a few of my favorite things…
I love the streets all lined with leaves,
Like cornflakes spilled and swept aside.
I love the rain as it pours down,
When those not from here run and hide.
Fall means a drive to Lone Pine Farms
To brave the big corn maze at night;
Buy some pumpkins and carve them up
To give the local kids a fright…
For Halloween it’s the Rocky Horror Show
At the Actors Cabaret downtown.
TV will show “It’s the Great Pumpkin”
With the one and only Charlie Brown.
From there it’s on to November,
To colder weather and turkey days.
Trying to be with friends and family,
And giving thanks in our own ways.
So for all of you who miss the sunshine,
Who miss the sweat, the heat, the burn,
I say try to enjoy the autumn,
After all…you had your turn.
