Pumpkinzilla

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!
