Challenge
Write a poem in the perspective of one of the most infamous killers in cinema, Michael Myers.
No, this isn’t the comedic actor from Austin Powers. This is Michael Myers (otherwise known as The Shape), the silent masked serial killer from the Halloween movies. Google him if you’re unsure who he is. The new Halloween movie hits theaters soon, and I created this challenge in honor of one of my favorite horror franchises. He’s silent but he must have something going on in his dark head. Write a poem in his perspective. Give this silent slasher villain a poetic voice.

Michael Myers.
Silence, one of the things
that I really enjoy
such a pleasure for sure
Oh boy!
But there’s one other thing
that makes my heart sing
moving right behind you
& you not even realizing it
when i make my move
it’s like a smooth groove....
From a young age
i was full of rage
but i found a way
i told myself hey
why not slash and slay?
—And so i did
went out to rid
myself of my own frustrations
by using my favorite artistic tool-
a handy~dandy kitchen knife.
