It's Friday the 13th,
be careful;
don't step on any cracks.
It's Friday the 13th
beware full
don't walk under
ladder stacks.
It's Friday the 13th
don't make the mistake
of dropping a mirror
or walking
in a black cat's wake.
It's Friday the 13th
what ever you do,
please stay safe
and have a fun time too.
My son thinks Friday the 13th is his lucky day. Good things always seem to happen to him on this date. I think it is just because he likes Fridays. What is your favorite day of the week? Can you write your own poem about a day of the week? What makes that day special for you? Have fun writing your poem.
The Poetry Friday Roundup is hosted by Laura Shovan today. (Thanks for hosting us, Laura.) You can find links to more great poetry at http://www.authoramok.blogspot.com

GUESS WHO?
Who is out on Halloween night
riding a broom in the pale moon light?
Who sits behind on the witch's broom
and holds on tight with every ZOOM?
Who purrs a loud kitty keen,
to wish us all
HAPPY HALLOWEEN.
Now, I'm going to try this poem with an echo. Let's see if it will work? This way, it becomes a poem for two voices. The echo is a repeat by students, and everyone joins in on the last line.

I hope you have a great Halloween. Today's poem is a riddle poem. Can you write your own riddles for some of the things Halloween? My first thought was a jack-o-lantern.
Do not think
it is hog wash.
Before he changed
he was an orange squash.
I had to use my rhyming dictionary for that one. There aren't a lot a great words to rhyme with squash. Hey, just have fun. We're not trying for Shakespearean sonnets here. Enjoy your holiday and make poetry a part of it.
