Do you believe in monsters? This week we drew an exquisite corpse monster and then talked about things that lurk around the corner and go bump in the night. The monsters in these poems are a little less menacing however and resemble some of our favorite sweet things and celebrities. Enjoy this week’s poets!

My Candy Cane Monster Janiyah Turner

My candy cane monster loves children and does not eat them
My monster looks like a candy cane
it was walking down the street with me
someone was coming so I stuffed it in my suitcase

Someone asked me what does it looks like
I said cotton candy
it smells like gummy tacos
it loves kids with all of her might
and my monsters name is Ms. Mayda

Here I come
she looks like Beyonce
she smells like candy
she puts on lipstick
she says
Muah!
