Halloween Hoots & Howls
by Jaden, second grade poet

A frightful spider hanging from a web.
A creature yelling in the dark, creepy night.
A vampire biting a scary witch.
A bat with one leg crawling in the dankest graveyard.
A skull stuck inside innards in a coffin.
Ants eating a pumpkin pie.
A cat prowling for a mummy.
A candle lit in the frightful night of Halloween.
