Year 8 Student Poem
A Silent Night
by Skye Wildman
As the swing set creaked
The monster did speak
In his misty tune
His voice a deep lagoon.
Listen to his song …
“Children come today,
Come to my lair don’t delay,
Children follow my song,
Time to come along.”
Out of their beds the children climb
Down the stairs hearing the chime
Walking outside to the eerie street
Their deadly fate is what they meet.
In the lair small bodies fly
Bloody skulls glinting in the moonlit sky
Brains, guts, fingers and more!
A child buffet of food galore.
Crunching and cracking of bones fill the air
Leaving the children with traumatic despair
The monster has had a feast tonight
But tomorrow, Halloween, is when he’ll BITE!
