Well autumn is around the corner and so are all the things that follows autumn. But if we are talking about October, I think the thing that's world wide known the best, although not celebrated everywhere, it would be Halloween. So it's up to you guys to write a 'scary' poem for this months challenge!
by Amy LupinThe end of October brings with it
great excitement and anticipation as people don their carefully crafted outfits and join others in celebration. Halloween symbolizes many things whether honoring saints or acknowledging the harvest. Around the world people are it commemorating, including some of the oldest and the youngest. Activities include apple bobbing, carving pumpkins, watching horror movies and sitting around bonfires, typically with with friends or kin, although hopefully without causing the neighbour's ire. There are usually a variety of costumes to be seen, from vampires to penguins and celebrities and even pirates, superheroes and queens throughout each city From trick-or-treating one can receive plenty of sweets by knocking on each door that one passes. Having fun in the process is also a treat especially when one participates alongside the masses. by Sirius FudgeCold dark tunnels where torches glow
Laughing Parker wherever we go Chilly misty wind in our cheeks blow The underground Sett where horrors flow No candies and toys abound this year But monsters roam free, it’s true my dear From a boggart to a devil’s snare Hufflepuffs are in for a scare. The greatest monster of all unveiled Sheets with holes ready under the beds No anti-repellents for this, the rules said Beware all Huffle firsties, even the heads. Thirteen days of Huffle horror waits Thirteen days of Huffleween dates Where to run and where to hide Monster mash is ready to stride. While Gryffindor Gryfftoberfests Hufflepuff would tackle beasts It is Halloween on everyone’s lists Time to create some scary mess by Polaris BlackGryffs don’t run and they won’t hide
Even if Basilisks roam inside But the coffee is gone Rorey’s running a con No wonder Fumei’s petrified! If that isn’t creepy enough There’s been even more scary stuff The Sett’s seen Fu’s shade And new art has been made. Doing homework has really been tough! Everyone knows there’s a rule Headmaster could close the school! That’s more of a scare Then venom or stare Couldn’t you guys find a Ghoul? To open the Chamber was mean A Basilisk’s really extreme Suffice it to say Fu get points anyway So thaw her for Halloween! by Kyrie AdderholtOctober comes but once a year
the month of fall and Halloween it brings candy, costumes, and fear leaves changing from their nomral green The pumpkins carved and all aglow with a candle burning inside a scary face or two on show or a face that's grinning wide The costumes at their very best whether they are fun or scary from the Wicked Witch of the West to monsters that are tall, hairy Zombies, monsters, clowns, and black cats scary ghosts made from old white sheets witches with their pointed black hats running all around the dark streets The whole night going door to door all dressed up for trick-or-treating hoping there will be sweets in store gathering candy for eating |
