Pumpkinzilla

Throughout the month of October we had a lot of fun doing various Halloween themed poems! One of our spooky prompts was to write poems about a made-up monster and to challenge each other to include as many imagery as they could create. Below are the funny, and scary, and even sad tales of Pumpkinzilla (pumpkin + godzilla), Frankinskull (Frankenstein + a skull) and Frankenghost (Frankenstein + a ghost)!

4th grade

Pumpkinzilla Ava P., Alexcia, and Olivia

Pumpkinzilla is big and rough

Pumpkinzilla has some fluff

Pumpkinzilla likes to eat pumpkin pie

He is not worth a dime

He has a kill-dron

for children

Pumpkinzilla’s breath

smells like death

Once he took a shower

and disappeared for an hour

Where ever he goes his buddy Tim

says go to the gym

and he falls and feels stressed

his wife, Cless

tells him to go lay down

in the comfiest bed

Frankinskull Milania, Ava F., and Annabella

1.

It’s Halloween and I stand in fright

I am frankinskull in the dark night

I think my costume looks cool

I can’t wait to show everybody at school

2.

Then I see my friend Dracula

he’s wearing a rich red cape

a white fancy suit

and black shiny shoes

and he smells

like burnt pumpkin pie

5th grade

Frankenghost Lily

His name is Frankenghost

but he likes to be called Frank.

He smells like Joe

who is his friend he ate.

Joe smelled

like a fish.

And he looks like a ghost

but you can see him

and he looks like fake stone.

He has green eyes

and black hair

but a little under his hair

he’s got stitches

and he is sad because all the kids

make fun of his stitches.

One day he gets made fun of

for smelling like fish

and having stitches.

The kids say do you even have a brain

because we would see it if you did

and they make fun of him for crying

and call him a cry baby!
