Halloween or Fall Poetry

This October's challenge is to write poetry relating to autumn. In our study skills class at South Elgin High School, we have been working on three types of poetry: ABC, Cinquain, and Haiku. Please try different styles and post your favorite to this blog. Here's our class ABC poem on Halloween:

In-class ABC Halloween Poem


Autumn falling leaves

Bats roam the sky in the night

Cat riding on witch’s broom

Dead come back to life

Elegant costumes walk the night

Frigid cold nights

Ghosts giving frights

Halloween is here

Igor stalks the Trick Or Treaters

Jason stalks the campgrounds

Kids yelling “Trick or Treat”

Little kids dressed up for the night

Mounds of candy on the children’s beds

Nightmares haunt children’s dreams

Owls hoot

Pumpkins light the street

Quite and creepy haunted houses

Running, screaming from monsters

Scared three-year-olds

Taste of candy, sweetens my mouth

Under the covers, all cozy and warm

Voldemort almost had me

Waiting anxiously for morning to come

Xcessive candy – sugar overdose

Yawning – eyes heavy

Zzzzzzzzzz
