255. Last Halloween Poem by Jaden Knight
255. Last Halloween
Last Halloween night was just so weird
I had a crazy one
hoping that this one with be a little less so
but last time I did have some fun
A vampire dropped in for a quick bite
because he thought I wasn't awake
he ran off crying
when I threatened him with a well done steak
I had a bone to pick with a skeleton
who managed to get into a fight
locked up three ghosts in a spirits cupboard
I guess I gave them a fright
I hit a zombie with a bat
before it flew off in a huff
it ran to its mummy for help
and it told them to not be so rough
I played chess with a werewolf
who was so crazy he was barking
he'd be in trouble in the morning
as he'd failed to pay for parking
I had an argument with a witch
who wanted to ask for her broom
and when the zombies turned up also
I knew I was going to run out of room
As the sun rose the next morning
through the leaves the colour of rust
all my visitors just disappeared
leaving behind their dust
Yes that time was rather fun I thought
as I finally got back into bed
but worry ye not dear friends
because it only happened inside my head

Profanaisaurus, my second reading noticed a typo here: hoping that this one with be a little less so. hope you aren't spooked by it! can you tell witch word is not 'right'? I hit a zombie with a bat before it flew off in a huff it ran to its mummy for help and it told them to not be so rough ...........love this stanza [but them? ] hey, i just used the word huff in a poem i wrote last night! i think mine rhymed with 'enough'. we ARE great ‘rhymers’, aren't WE! ? I had an argument on a witch........... i know you limeys speak differently than we colonists (ex-colonists i should say) , but on? i suppose you could have been on her? you don't have to tell me. BUT, if you change it to 'with a witch', i'd like it better and you'd pick up a nice alliteration as well. hmm? favorite lines: but worry ye not dear friends because it only happened inside my head and he ran off crying when I threatened him with a well done steak.............BUT IT TOOK ME three readings to realize/realise …………………………………………………………………that this was a 'play on words', with steak/stake. BRILLLANT! THIS shall go into MyPoemList and replace your poem in Section B of the a showcase for PH poets: October which is on my site here. i really like the 'holiday', and the poem, and that you asked to put it in just before H-day. have a happy! bri :) p.s. i see you have two more 'halloween' poems in your list. i'll try to remember to peek at them another day.
