Again school begins.
I do not think I'm ready
for vacation's end.
For the cool weather,
apple cider and donuts--
my favorite treat.
The poplar leaves spin
yellow snowflakes in the wind--
leaves shaped like mittens.
My dad rakes the leaves
I help him make a big pile.
Then we run and jump.
Halloween costume
I will wear for trick-or-treat--
Cat, Princess, Rock Star.
Running very fast
I let out string while I fly
my kite in the air.
Happy Sunday. I hope you have a great day.

MY HALLOWEEN COSTUME
What will I be
this Halloween
a ladybug, a bum,
a zombie, or a queen?
A cowboy, super hero,
or a rock star
maybe a wild scientist
who captures bugs in a jar.
A maid or a butler,
or a football player,
perhaps I'll dress
as a dragon slayer.
A circus performer
or a ballerina,
I might be the monkey man
who plays concertina.
A pirate who wears
a patch over one eye,
or a clown with big feet
and a shaving cream pie.
I can take my dog
but I'll need to disguise her
as a librarian, a doctor
or someone who is wiser.
Too many things that
I can be.
Perhaps I'll just
go out as me.
Will you dress up for Halloween? Can you write a poem about a Halloween costume?
In England if you go to a costume party, they call it a fancy dress party. Can you imagine how embarrassing it would be to show up wearing the wrong clothes?
It is hard to believe that I only need to write seven more Halloween themed poems and I'll have a month's worth. I think I can do this. Have fun writing your own poem.
We need to celebrate, my blog post counter shows that I have posted over 1300 poems on my blog. Thank you for reading all those poems.
Today is Poetry Friday and Cathy Mere is hosting the Roundup at her blog, Merely Day by Day Thanks, Cathy.

HALLOWEEN COSTUME
"Come," said Mother
"Give me a hand.
A costume for Halloween,
we've got to plan."
Tell me what
you'd like to be
we'll make the costume,
just wait and see.
A ballerina, a monster,
a cowboy, a bum,
a princess, a scientist
a teacher, a nun.
A nurse or a doctor
a lawyer, or farmer.
a rockstar, a model
a plumber, or drummer.
There are so many things
to be for Halloween,
but now is the time
to start to scheme.
Have you thought about what you'd like to be for this Halloween? Your challenge for today is to write a poem about what you want to be this Halloween. Oh what fun this one should be.
