I'll be a Monster by Stephanie Zydron
An original piece Zydron composed for the WriteOn Joliet writers group (ww.writeonjoliet.com/index.html).
"I'll go as a monster!" he cheered in the store,
but he's refusing to wear it at all anymore.
"I don't like my pumpkin!" he cried three days later.
"I don't like his face, I want him an alligator."
"I hate trick or treating!" he shouted today.
"I hate Halloween! I just want to stay!"
"You'll want to go," assured his big brother.
"You're sure to have fun. Tonight's like no other."
"How do you know?" he asked with a sneer.
"How do you know I have nothing to fear?"
"Don't you want candy?" questioned the oldest.
"They give it out to the biggest and boldest."
"Of course I had fun!" he yelled across the floor.
"They gave us all candy at each single door."
"My face's the best," he whispered that night.
"Look how scary he is with the light!"
"I'll wear it forever," he said quiet as a peep.
Then he, as a monster, fell quickly asleep.
