Throughout the month of October we had a lot of fun doing various Halloween themed poems! One of our spooky prompts was to write poems about a made-up monster and to challenge each other to include as many imagery as they could create. Below are the funny, and scary, and even sad tales of Pumpkinzilla (pumpkin + godzilla), Frankinskull (Frankenstein + a skull) and Frankenghost (Frankenstein + a ghost)!
Pumpkinzilla
by Ava P., Alexcia, and Olivia
4th grade
Pumpkinzilla is big and rough
Pumpkinzilla has some fluff
Pumpkinzilla likes to eat pumpkin pie
He is not worth a dime
He has a kill-dron
for children
Pumpkinzilla’s breath
smells like death
Once he took a shower
and disappeared for an hour
Where ever he goes his buddy Tim
says go to the gym
and he falls and feels stressed
his wife, Cless
tells him to go lay down
in the comfiest bed
pronouns: he/him/mr./pop
Frankinskull
by Milania, Ava F., and Annabella
4th grade
1.
It’s Halloween and I stand in fright
I am frankinskull in the dark night
I think my costume looks cool
I can’t wait to show everybody at school
2.
Then I see my friend Dracula
he’s wearing a rich red cape
a white fancy suit
and black shiny shoes
and he smells
like burnt pumpkin pie
Frankenghost
Lily
5th grade
His name is Frankenghost
but he likes to be called Frank.
He smells like Joe
who is his friend he ate.
Joe smelled
like a fish.
And he looks like a ghost
but you can see him
and he looks like fake stone.
He has green eyes
and black hair
but a little under his hair
he’s got stitches
and he is sad because all the kids
make fun of his stitches.
One day he gets made fun of
for smelling like fish
and having stitches.
The kids say do you even have a brain
because we would see it if you did
and they make fun of him for crying
and call him a cry baby!
