Halloween Poem

Halloween Poem

Zombies crowd the graveyards,

Vampires crowd the sky.

Dragons crowd the mountains,

And I sit closely by.

This world of mythological creatures

Isn’t as fun as what it may seem.

I have to watch the ground closely

As fairies flutter under me.

I must watch my back,

As these creatures do not like my kind.

I might get killed every day,

And the terror creeps in through my mind.

Sure, people might think it’d be cool,

To live with the werewolves and gnomes.

But really, in reality,

You’re not even safe in your own home.

I really wish I didn’t live here anymore,

But there’s nothing I can do.

I guess I’ll just choose to be a vampire,

After all, wouldn’t you?

I’ll just let one of them bite me,

And change me into their kind.

At least I wouldn’t be dead, right?

Of course, I couldn’t change my mind.

Once I was turned, it might be kinda cool,

Of course, I’d love blood, but I’d be nice.

I wouldn’t kill my family, right?

Criminals my thirst would suffice.

I could keep a dragon as my pet,

And soar on through the sky.

I’d live my live like a fairytale,

With no more thoughts to cry.

I’d be able to protect myself,

Oh, this life I know I’d like.

At least I wouldn’t be afraid anymore,

When I’m riding down the street on my bike.

Sure, my mom would ask “WHY?!”

But, I’d just tell her, “It’s true.”

“I asked to be a vampire, mom,

“Please don’t worry yourself too!”

I’d finally be a part of this wonderful world,

A world with creatures everyone wants to be,

Until they’ve seen what it’s really like,

To sit by and watch this world, ever so carefully.
