Challenge
We are approaching Halloween, and not much longer after that will be Thanksgiving, followed by just about everyone’s favorite holiday—Christmas. Thus this challenge is to incorporate all three holidays into a three stanza poem followed by a single line ending. This can be dark, eerie, pleasant, daunting. Possibilities with this can be endless.
Because Prose still has some difficulties determining a winner via most likes, and though this falls under Monarchy, I will choose the winner based on the total amount of likes. The only difference this time is this: If you do not tag me in the comment box, not in your piece—it will not matter how many likes you have, it will not be chosen, so be sure to tag me as @Danceinsilence.
I will start this off so you get an idea or ideas from which to decide how you wish to go with this.
Three Different Nights
Long night
Spooky fright
Pranks and sweets
Tricks and treats
Children enticed
Neighborhood heist
Houses, haunted
Goodies, flaunted
Gather 'round
By love bound
Families both far and near
Members from there and here
Enjoy the bountiful feast
Celebrate crossing from the east
Food for which we are grateful
Family for which we are thankful
Snow days
School delays
Snowball fight
December delight
Presents under the tree
Children filled with glee
Tinsel and holly
Kind and jolly
Three different nights - when all choose to unite
