The Ghoul By Farrah Smith

The gruesome,grisly ghoul without the slightest noise, waits patiently beside the school to feast on girls and boys

He lings fiercely through the air, as they come out to play, then grabs a couple by their hair and drags them far away

He cracks their bones and snaps their backs and squeezes out their lungs, he chews their thumps like candy snacks and pulls apart their tongues

He slices their stomachs and bites their hearts and tears their flesh to sheds, he swallows their toes like toasted tarts and gobbles down their

Fingers, elbows, hands, and knees and arms and legs feet, he eats them with delight and ease, for every parts a treat

And when the gruesome, grisly ghoul has nothing left to chew, he hurries to another school and waits...... perhaps for you. What is your interpretation of the poem?

The Horsemen are Headless this Evening By Farrah Smith

The horsemen are headless this evening. The werewolves are howling and hairy. The mummies are rising from out of their crypts. The vampires are equally scary.

The trolls are pugnacious and plodding. The goblins are grinning and green. The ogres are rabid and running amok. The ghosts can just barely be seen.

The banshees are wailing and moaning. The zombies are dragging their feet, and gremlins engaging in mischievous fun are dancing around in the street.

Tree Huggers By Farrah Smith

Children of the fragile forest gather around Where bird song seems to be the loudest sound A place called Summer, green as you could please A place where we all proudly hug the trees.

Hug trees for the walnuts and sweet apples For the shade above small country chapels For giving squirrel and crow a place to live For the priceless gift of oxygen they give.

Follow your feet across a woodland floor Beneath the tall and ancient sycamore Under redwood, under tall blue pine Come with me and form an endless line.

Join the boy whose name is simply ME Take your turn and hug a mighty tree A wish we cast upon an August breeze A dream to cross the seven sacred seas.

Release it now, just like a big balloon... A prayer to reach the mountains of the moon To citizens of Earth alas we say Go find yourself a tree to hug today!

And if a grownup says Don’t be a fool! Or Is that what they’re teaching you in school Just find this poem a nd read this simple rhyme It’s cool to HUG a TREE from time to time!

Children this is how the world can be Making Earth plan A and not plan B Wear Change! Share Change! Sing Change! Bring Change And start by hugging a tree!
