There’s no better way to say goodbye to October and to shuffle off into November than to celebrate (though it did turn into a “roast” mid-way) of one of the most iconic monsters: Dracula.
Ode to Dracula
by Ava. F, Ava P., Lily, Olivia, and Alexcia
4th-5th grade
Ode to Dracula for his cape
that’s red like blood
Ode to Dracula for his fangs
that are white as paper
Ode to his brown eyes that look like poo
and his hair that is black
like a hole in the ground.
He is pale as a ghost!

-Oscar S.
“Writing poetry makes me feel free.”
-Buenda D.
“Writing poetry is like your best friend.”
