Halloween Sucks This Year-Acrostic Poem

 

 

 

 

 

How in the world am I going to celebrate?

All of these families have lost their spirit

Like a neighborhood graveyard this place is dead

Leaving us kids empty and down in the dumps

Oh, if it only it could be like the past years

When everybody was happy and alive this time of the year

Every house on this block has a sign on its door

Each one saying, "Sorry, there's no candy here!"

Next year I don't think I'm going to celebrate Halloween

 

So many of us are all dressed up, sadly for nothing

Upset and let down is how we feel deep inside

Cruising through these dark neighborhoods

Kicking all of the debris left along the sidewalks

Sick and tired from walking for two hours

 

Telling myself, maybe this block will be better

Hoping to find some light at the end of this tunnel

I pick my head up and quickly cross the street

Still in good spirits I keep an eye out for scary decorations

 

Yet, all I see is another row of darkness

Every house on this block is just like the last

Another hour gone by and my bag is still empty

Retreating back to my house, as a tear falls from my eye

    aah Jeremy I was wondering where this Acrostic was going to take us when I saw the title.
    Such a sad year for many this year, When I was shopping for candy I heard a lot of people saying they were going to have to shut their lights off early because they just could not buy as much candy as they used too. it made me sad, but such is the times.
    Thank-you for sharing the reality within this write sigh.
    Warm thoughts.

    This is a good one and true, when I was a kid all the houses were lit up. Now the kids will be lucky to get a couple of houses on the block so ya it sucks for them. Great write and good luck in the contest!
