Halloweensie Contest



THE 8TH ANNUAL HALLOWEENSIE CONTEST!!!!!
~ FOR CHILDREN’S WRITERS ~
AAHHHRRROOOOOOOOO!!!!!
(from Susanna Leonard Hill’s Blog)

The Contest: write a 100 word Halloween story appropriate for children (children here defined as 12 and under) (title not included in the 100 words), using the words shivercauldron, and howl.  Your story can be scary, funny, or anything in between, poetry or prose, but it will only count for the contest if it includes those 3 words and is 100 words (you can go under, but not over).

Here’s my entry…

How Do Ninjas Trick or Treat?

Ninjas tip-toe street to street,
Faces covered don’t you peek.

Cauldrons filled to the brim,
Ninjas leap limb to limb.

What’s inside? Hold your nose,
Icky, sticky, stinky toes.

How do Ninjas trick or treat?
Dance and prance to a beat.

Howls heard far away,
Ninjas rush to save the day.

Cauldrons filled to the brim,
Tip and spill, leave faces grim.

One Ninja shivered, one Ninja shook.
Two Ninjas sprinted to the nearest brook.

Cauldrons empty, sticky toes no more,
Toes hop to the brooks bumpy cool floor.

Ninjas tip-toe street to street,
home at last ready for sleep.
