Friday Poetry: Jack Prelutsky

Happy Friday!

I hope everyone has had a good week so far. I am very happy because I am now on half term which hopefully means adventures, rest and reading.

My chosen poem this week is by the American writer of children’s poetry Jack Prelutsky (1940).

It's Halloween

It's Halloween! It's Halloween!
The moon is full and bright
And we shall see what can't be seen
On any other night:

Skeletons and ghosts and ghouls,
Grinning goblins fighting duels,
Werewolves rising from their tombs,
Witches on their magic brooms.

In masks and gowns
we haunt the street
And knock on doors
for trick or treat.

Tonight we are
the king and queen,
For oh tonight!
it's Halloween! 

Jack Prelutsky
