For class I wrote another silly poem. It was supposed to be a "list of things you like" a la Gerard Manley Hopkins. It's my "oh, a 2nd grader wrote this!!" poem, but the class (filled with those not too far removed from 2nd grade) liked it.
I like the dark things, Halloween things,
Gleeful grins and voodoo queens;
Tarot decks and green moonbeams.
I like the pansy, fearful face and back,
Growling up at me from the bushpack
Poison mushroom cap, magic brick-a-brack.
I like the room beneath the Tree,
Cauldrons and witches, three by three
I like the unseen, silly world
That just might bite a careless girl.
