Poetry Challenge- Halloween Edition!
Oh Dog! It’s time for another Poetry Challenge! Today’s topic- Halloween!!!!
It’s Halloween And I’m feeling mean I’m dressed like a Wookiee So gimme a cookie!
So, do you have a Halloween poem to share with us? I have this one:
Ghosts and goblins fill the air make you afraid to go anywhere Bats, black cats, spiders and rats Make you afraid wherever you’re at. But with all the supposed frights promised us on Halloween night it’s as it is throughout the year it’s only humans we should fear.OK now, it’s YOUR turn! I’m ready to be scared!

Hey Rumpy, you look cool on the pic!
Here is my poetry for Halloween!
I’m not good at it though…it’s fun! Woo woo
Night has fallen
The town is dreadfully quiet
Those scary voices echoing all over the darkness…..
‘trick-or-treat’
Give me cheese or I’ll bark at you!
‘trick-or-treat’
Give me cheese or I’ll fart all over there!
Hehehe
What a wonderful day Halloween is!!!
Woof!!!

Think of witches, shrill and mean,
Bats and cats are also seen,
If you know ‘em,
Write a poem,
For Rumpy Drummond’s Halloween.

Me too!

Here ya go Rumpy. I just wrote it now. You’re so inspiring.
Ghosts and ghoulies all about
Pumpkins with their faces carved out
Kids in costumes
Grown ups with treats
All the activity in the streets
Just after dark the excitement begins
Knock, knock and ding dong
They sing their little Halloween song
“Trick or treat, smell my feet
Give me something good to eat”
Laughter and awwwwing, it’s all so sweet
They do a trick and I give them a treat
Ghosts and ghoulies all about
Pumpkins with their faces carved out
October 28, 2011 at 6:58 AM
Oh Dog! Love it! Jen says they used to say that “smell my feet….” thing when she was a kid. Wonder how old it is?
October 28, 2011 at 8:17 AM
I don’t know how old it is either but I used to say as a kid too – and that was quite a while ago.

I love searching for this stuff and I’m sorry this time I didn’t find anything credible, but I thought I would share something I do find interestingly parallel. In the Apocrypha, there is a story of an idol named Bel (Daniel 14:1-21). In this story, Bel appears to be eating the food offerings that are placed before it. The prophet Daniel exposes the fraud by scattering ash on the floor, which reveals the footprints of the food thieves the next morning.

Great poems, everyone! I was so inspired, I had to write one, too. Just don’t let Tyna see it or she’ll kill me! GULP!
Loup
The Tyna Monster
by Loup
The Tyna monster is on the loose
She prowls around the place,
Her frothy jowls are jiggly and loose
Such a scary, hideous face!
She opens her mouth to let out a roar
What a horrible deafening sound!
Such a horrendous din makes my ears get sore
And makes my head start to pound.
Tyna is ready for Halloween night
She doesn’t even need a disguise,
She’d give anyone a fright
With those big, black, droopy eyes.
A warning to be careful this Halloween night
The Tyna monster is malicious and mean,
She can kill you with one big, vicious bite
But try to have a Happy Halloween!

*laughing hysterically* oh Dog! That is GREAT! I gotta write one about June Buggie!
October 28, 2011 at 8:52 AM
June Buggie cat
Ornery and fat
Leaves dogs in fear
Whenever he’s near!
October 28, 2011 at 9:01 AM
Being afraid of humans is very real. I hate that humans suck.
October 28, 2011 at 10:52 AM

October 28, 2011 at 11:31 AM
I love these cat poems. I had to write one too.
Scratchy’s a fright
blending in with the night
Don’t get too close
He won’t scratch, but he’ll bite
Bongo
October 28, 2011 at 11:54 AM

When witches and black cats,
dance thru the night,
And ghosts and pumpkin heads,
gives you a fright!
Yay!! Have a spooky weekend!!!
October 28, 2011 at 3:23 PM
Hello!!!! Thanks for visiting and I love your poem!
October 28, 2011 at 3:39 PM
Whoa there Rumpydog! Thanks for tawdling over to visit Us at my place. I’m going to put my mind to a Halloweenie poem. It’ll take me a while. As a Pisces, I can never make up my mind, so writing a poem is going to be a real challenge. But I’ll be back. Not like that Austrian, enough of him already, I will truly be back…sometime…with a poem in my paw for you.
Arooooo! Stuart
October 28, 2011 at 6:28 PM

October 28, 2011 at 6:28 PM
Uh oh! You got the fever!!!!
October 28, 2011 at 8:03 PM
Here’s our poem…we thought about it all day!
If you ring our bell
our people will yell
a big spooky BOO!
Then give candy to you!!
Up in the air
there’s a bat over there!
It’s fishies we want
or your house we will haunt!
Our costumes are scary,
you’d better be wary.
We’ve got toilet paper.
To your house we will caper.
But we’re not that bad,
so you mustn’t be sad.
We’re really quite nice
and we’ll catch all your mice.
By the light of the moon,
we will yowl you a tune.
Then jump over your gate
and tomorrow sleep late!
RCx8 say Hahahahaha, It’s Halloween!!
October 28, 2011 at 8:47 PM
Oh Dog! That’s fantastic! You can come and haunt my yard anytime!
October 28, 2011 at 8:38 PM
I’m still laughing over the one you submitted! I can’t think of one as I’m not a big fan of Halloween … if I come up with something, I’ll fly back on my stick and add it.
October 28, 2011 at 8:48 PM
OK! I’ll be waiting for ya! woo woo woo!
October 28, 2011 at 10:41 PM
I’m scared o dog but look I will
The Halloween version of my cable bill
It has no teeth, it is not hairy
But man o man that thing is scary
Thanks for your kindness.
October 29, 2011 at 2:33 AM
Now that IS scary!!!!!

Halloween is almost here
Let’s give a cheer
Let’s run in fear
Chase the girl that you like best
Wear your cowboy vest
Or superman chest
Now hop in bed, you ghostly goon!
Halloween will be here soon!
