Competition Entry

Autumn moves the trees,
the wind runs and howls,
leaves fall down to the ground,
yellow, orange, red and brown.
The rain is pouring down
on the colourful meadows

Haunting Halloween Night
It’s eerie all around
The ghosts come out tonight
But don’t be scared, don’t frown
For All Hallows Eve
Is fun for all
You could go trick or treating near a shopping mall

Haunting Halloween Night
May give some a fright
But there’s always luminous light
On every Halloween Night

Families together enjoying themselves
Spooky decorations sat on their shelves
Little children counting their sweets
While mum bakes them Halloween treats

Now the celebration has reached an end
Christmas is right around the bend
But next year on Halloween
It will be more enjoyable than it’s ever been!

Getting ready
Wearing mask paint
Knock knock
Trick or treat
Next house
Going home
Eating candy
What a long day

Times flying by
I can’t believe its been a year already
October here we go again
My brother’s birthday
Then my dad’s
Then comes Halloween
but last October I broke my knee
the day before my brother’s celebrations
My knee will never be fully healed
I guess my expectations are too high
Continuous issues
they crumble in the cold
This October
same thing as last
going to the orthopaedics
to make sure my knees healing
Last October changed my life
Which is still affecting me
This October
October will always be in my head
the month of what I broke my knee
It doesn’t feel like it’s been a year
The memory lingers as if it
We’re yesterdays grace.
Last Halloween I was in crutches
at-least I can go pumpkin picking
without a wheel chair this year
even though I hurt my knee
I still made the most of the month
October the unforgettable month
ill always have that memory
stuck Inside my head
crawling back to remind me every time
About an injury that changed my life
my knee will never be normal again
and my gymnastics skills
Will never be the same

Hay as yellow as a star in the night sky.

Autumn as cold as the North Pole.

Red bouncy balls falling from the trees.

Vegetables breaking free from their dirty abode.

Edible orange swords stuck in the ground.

Sweetcorn as yellow as a chick.

Trees as tall as mountains.

It’s Harvest time.

Autumn Days

With the golden sun rises
Berries on the floor
We know autumn days are here

Overgrown leaves all over the place
Chestnuts roasting on the open fire
We know autumn days are here

Bumpy hard conkers, hanging on the trees
Beautiful shiny bugs, stuck on their backs
We know autumn days are here.

And the wind is howling and also cold
Dew dropped spider webs tell us that
Autumn days are here.

Gloomy and bare the organ-loft,
Bent-backed and blind the organist.
From rafters looming shadowy,
From the pipes’ tuneful company,
Drifted together drowsily,
Innumerable, formless, dim,
The ghosts of long-dead melodies,
Of anthems, stately, thunderous,
Of Kyries shrill and tremulous:
In melancholy drowsy-sweet
They huddled there in harmony.
Like bats at noontide rafter-hung.
It was just the ghost’s music.
Creepy and scary.
Just ghost music and … Aaaaaaaaah!

Winter, oh winter, how I love you so!
You bring me Snowflake, you make me behold.
She is pearly white with scowls like snow,
But will depart in the summer flow.

As the leaves turn green,
She turns black,
As we get healthy,
That’s all she lacks.

But the November snow
Is what she needs,
Before the fatal blow,
Oh Snowflake you’re my favourite fish!

In the hotness of the summer
One life lost
One heart broken
The summer of despair

As the leaves turn green,
She turns black,
As we get healthy,
That’s all she lacks.

But the November snow,
Is what she needs,
Before the fatal blow,
Oh Snowflake, you’re my favourite fish!

The autumn has come,
The summer has gone,
It’s sad ’cause I don’t get to sleep for as long
Halloween’s coming,
I can’t believe my luck!
Since no one can tell me
How many sweets are in my gut.
My birthday is in November
As are most of my family’s
It’s sad since I’d like a whole month about me.

On Halloween night, when the moon is full,
And the shadows dance and swirl,
Ghosts and goblins come out to play,
In this magical world.

Jack-o’-lanterns grin with their toothy smiles,
As witches fly through the air,
Children laugh and trick-or-treat,
Without a single care.

Halloween is a night of magic,
When anything is possible,
So let your imagination run wild,
And have a night that’s truly enjoyable.

Happy Halloween!
