Here is my submission:

Halloween night



Halloween,
The season's queen.
A holiday of spooks and frights,
Superheroes in long red tights.
A chill in the air,
The thrill in a dare.
A haunted house on cold dark lanes,
A mysterious ghost rattles her chains.
The lighting of jack-o-lanterns,
A wonderful sight.
Only the brave go out on
Halloween night.

hi there! this seems fun, i hope i'm not intruding or something,,, (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄
anyway, here's my poem:

Pantoum for the Girl at the Beach

Calypso’s island does not rise, it forms
Slowly, debris and detritus build an
Unholy landscape. Silently, it mourns.
The furred, the flippered, the feathered, and man.

Slowly, debris and detritus build an
Asphyxiating tomb for your creatures,
The furred, the flippered, the feathered. And man
bore into your pores— you get no sutures.

Anguished tomb asphyxiates my creatures:
Our lungs fill with smoke and we’re decaying.
Bore into my pores— I have no sutures,
Listen, listen to our wretched baying.

Our lungs fill with smoke and we’re decaying,
While skyscrapers sprout from between your toes.
Listen, listen to their wretched baying:
Is there just talk in a world full of woes?

Skyscrapers sprout from in between my toes.
Who painted that acid portrait of her,
Is there justice in a world full of woes?
Waves lap at ankles, a pleading whisper.

Who painted that acid portrait of her?
Gaia may be a naive little girl:
Waves lap at ankles, a pleading whisper.
In a dress of smog, she’ll give you a twirl.

And then the moon rises to calm the sea
Lulling the little girl Gaia to sleep.
Calypso’s island does not rise, it forms
Unholy landscape, silently, it mourns.

I thought it was forever
the way I loved you
we swore it was forever
it was supposed to be true
you and I, for always

But our soul was just a broken dream
but that's only how it seems
It was always meant only an instant
you never believed
true love, you told me
I wished it was forever

whānau / practicing observation

Breathe in, let your ache rest.
She wasn't lying about the creak in your bones lest
I have been ignored by her through and through;
Yes, thank you, cemetery plot. Thank you, old friend. Thank you.

Every day is starting to become a new day--
I have watched you die again and again. No, not that way,
this way. Follow my lead. I've watched myself die that way a long time ago.
No, thank my grandma, not me. Thank you for the show.

When you have been okay with complicity?
Please tell me how to understand you. I need more specificity.
I can't thank you enough. I think we're in the thick of this.
I don't want to watch you die again. For once, I just want to reminisce.

Roses are red,
violets may be blue
just know the queen is looking for you
she has come over sea
hoping you will agree
she needs a new king
he needs to be here by next spring


Oh no!
Halloween
a day of frights
kids scream for this night
for alleys will be cold
but that's only if your bold


so, grab the queen of roses
she may give you a fright
but truly she is a delight
sweet as honey i must say
won't even be surprised if she is with the bees

Halloween is her day
Join the madness and she will obey

Roses are red
violets may be blue
its halloween night
what a fright!!

Here's my submission! It's been a while since I've done a consistent rhyming poem.

Imperfect

The total of my accomplishments will never be up to standard.
When I look back on myself she gets slandered.
And if I am to do anything I can't do the first time,
it would pound on me like I just committed a crime.

I will never be this perfect picture girl.
I want to be as perfect as an artificial pearl.
And this is why I don't ever participate
in anything I couldn't do when I was eight.

It's greatly disturbing at my lack of being
because if I don't do anything
I can still be perfect
as a perfection addict.
I won't go down by myself, but I'll go down with my friends
I'm taking back the life you stole
Came a time when every star fall brought you to tears again

-My Chemical Romance
