So when the fabulous #FallWritingFrenzy organizers suggested taking one line of your story and spinning off a whole new one, it felt natural to write my spooky story’s not-so-spooky sequel.
My line from the original story:
…And found the rest down the street
Halloween Street
By Lisa Lowe Stauffer
A drifting ghost shouting, “Boo!”
A cat in black –– I can’t tell who. A walking, silly, wobbly hat!
Tripping, falling — Watch out! Splat! A princess shining, head to toe.
A beak with wings . . . Oh, it’s a crow!
A monster-slayer from the deep and next to him–A wooly sheep!
A fire fighter with her dog. A lumberjack, ax, and log.
That’s all of us, except for me. . .
Those
spooky
woods
made
me a
tree!

(Hopefully the poem’s tree shape shows up on your device!)
I love this! What a great idea to shape it like a tree!
How clever, Lisa! Both the poem and the form!
