Halloween Party
by Kenn Nesbitt
We’re having a Halloween party at school.
I’m dressed up like Dracula. Man, I look cool!
I dyed my hair black, and I cut off my bangs.
I’m wearing a cape and some fake plastic fangs.
I put on some makeup to paint my face white,
like creatures that only come out in the night.
My fingernails, too, are all pointed and red.
I look like I’m recently back from the dead.
My mom drops me off, and I run into school
and suddenly feel like the world’s biggest fool.
The other kids stare like I’m some kind of freak—
the Halloween party is not till next week.
I love this poem not because the boy gets laughed at but because i can understand the fact of being SO excitied that you jump the gun about something ESPECIALLY halloween, it is by far one of my favorite holidays and i have had the best time working at a halloween store for the last two years, i wish it was open longer than just two months! halloween is just a fun time where you can be anyone you want to be and enjoy it even if it is for only one night!
