I have to post Poetry Friday here this week. The server for “Check It Out” is having major difficulty.
One of the coolest things about my job as a library media specialist is when a student hands me something they have written. This week, Tabbatha, a fifth grader brought me her poetry (one piece is still at school). Way cool.
October
On Halloween night the cool chilling air fills the
Streets with joy.
Carrying big bags of candy as
The sky gets darker on Halloween night
Oh October
Beautiful orange and yellow leaves hanging on the
Tree by each other
Each different than others
Running down the street trying to catch my sister
On Halloween night.
–Tabbatha, 5th grade
For more great poetry, head to Picture Book of the Day.
Way to go, Tabbatha! Cool poem! I love acrostics when they SAY something!

I LOVE THAT. “Fills the streets with joy.” Oh, how I wish I could recapture that innocent happiness of “people are giving me candy!!” What a thing to look forward to every single year.
