At Halloween, I’d like to meet a ghost
because they’re spooky and exciting too:
a knight-in-armour ghoul would thrill me most;
I wouldn’t be scared, even if he said,’Whooo!’
I’d like to take a ride on a ghost train
with a headless driver and skeleton staff
serving mice and rats fresh from the drain
with witches’ brew to make passengers laugh.
I’d visit a haunted castle just for fun
with monsters hiding under every bed:
You might be scared, but I would never run
even from a horseman who had lost his head…
This is my favourite part of Halloween:
Imagining frightful things that make you scream!

A fun-filled sonnet from Benji the Brave!
Benji, our youngest sonneteer, at 8 years old, has written this frightfully good sonnet about his favourite Halloween treats. And as he asked for a ghost train, here’s a special song just for him…
A super, well written poem Benji and I just knew that a train would feature in there somewhere! 👍👏
Thanks Hobbo! Didn’t he do well? 🚂
He sure did! 👏👏👏
Brilliant!
Thanks Vinny 🤩
Benji, you are a braver man than me. I would be running so fast that no one would ever catch me.
This is super fun. Wow. And he’s the bravest. I sure would be far gone if ever there was a headless horseman or a ghost around. Jeez. Gone…
Thanks for writing this Benji. You’re so cool.
Wow, very accomplished for 8 years old 👏👏👏
I know! Thank you ⭐️
Wow, Benji! What nightmares I will have tonight after reading about a headless train conductor and haunted castles with ghosts hiding under the beds! I will try to remember to be brave!
I love the Ghost Train song! Happy Halloween! 🙂
Glad you enjoyed this, Cheryl!
Well done, Benji! I’m sure I never wrote a sonnet when I was eight. You are very brave!
He certainly is! Thanks Merril 😊
You’re very welcome!😀
