Ready for Halloween? There are quite a few poems for young people that feature Halloween characters and traditions and beliefs-- as well as poems about the season of Fall, the changing weather, and other elements of autumn. If you like a ghostly poem, here is a fun one about an unlikely ghost who is not scary at all!
Thank you, Kevan Atteberry, for your silly poem and Canva for fun animated graphics and this spooky audiophile! This poem, "Ghost Unlikely" comes from Clara's Kooky Compendium of Thimblethoughts and Wonderfuzz published by Pomelo Books. Here's the sample page that features the poem (below). In this book, we pair poems with Thimblethoughts of trivia, Wonderfuzz questions to ponder, tiny nuggets of language arts skills, lists of related fascinating facts and lots of clever cartoons by artist Frank Ramspott.
You can purchase this book from QEP Books (at a discount!) here. There are more than 100 poems to read, share, and use as mentor texts! Check it out!
Now, join the Poetry Friday crew over at Beyond Literacy Link where Carol is hosting our gathering (and gives a lovely shout-out to Clara's Kooky Compendium). [Thank you, Carol!]
