Moving on

Middle school was such a haze

It felt like it would go on for more days

But it’s ending

And people aren’t done preparing

The next big step

I’m not ready yet

I’m experiencing so many feelings

So many and I’m just a human being

It’s hard to handle

But I’ve got friends to help me with this battle

Though I’ll be leaving some behind

I’ll remember them until the end of time

So many memories made

And it all comes down to today

The last day of eighth grade

The day just seems to fade

Everyone’s tearing up

It seems like we’re about to erupt

With great emotions

And there is no solution

So for others making a great change

At life in any stage

Just know I’m proud

And there can be a tough crowd

So keep being you

And enjoy everything you do

Because one day it’ll all go away

And you’ll long for the good old days.

Jack Skellington

Who is that?

What is that!

Oh it’s scaring me

Down to the bone

They’re tall!

And slim!

And now their head!

It’s gone!

And it’s back again?

That’s strange.

But look!

It’s gone again

Taking their head off

Again and again

Oh my it’s scary

I must get going

“Hello there”

They say

“Where might you be going”

As they appear in front of me

I look up

To see a skull

With pitch black

Hollow eyes

I scream in fear

And run the other way

For I knew who that was

Jack Skellington!

He’s the definition of scary

And is always so frightening

All who come across him must be wary

And must not resort to fighting

He may be slim

And he may be bones

Be there is something

That many do not know

He is the pumpkin king!

He rules the land

Of Halloween town

And scared any children he found

“Oh please spare me.”

I said with tearing eyes

“For I could be of some use,

And put terror into children's eyes.”

He looked at me up and down

And said with a widening grin

“You have a deal”

I smiled with a growing appeal

We worked side by side for years on end

Then suddenly found dead was poor immortal Jack Skellington

And Halloweentown had a new ruler

So bow down to the new pumpkin king

The Weeping Woman

I was laying in bed

All snug and tight

When I hear a woman

Weeping in the night

I looked in fright

Still but staring

For she was in my room

And her face was barren

She caught me looking

And without hesitation

Came running at me

With a strong desperation

I got up

And I ran, ran, ran!

For I knew if I didn’t

I would be a dead man

I looked back

And I knew I would be done for

But I did anyway

And she wasn’t there anymore

I sighed in relief

For my eyes are deceiving me

Then I turned around

And there she was

I let out a scream

So loud and obnoxious

For she had hollow eyes

And the ground was not touching her feet

Tangled hair

Bloody limbs

Ratted dress

With rips and tears

She put her finger to her lip

Let out a hellish noise

Very Loud and obscene

Swallowed me whole without any scene

I thought to myself

“Is this how I die?”

And I lay there so quiet

In the void of silence

I sit there

In the blackness of somewhere

But I hear something near

I brush it off like a bug in my ear

But it keeps echoing and echoing

Getting louder and louder

And I wake in a hospital bed

Alive but in a flounder

For who was the weeping woman

And why could I hear her

What happened

But I never got an answer
