Halloween Poem Scrapbook

By Russ D. Edwards

It would sound unusual to have a Halloween poem scrapbook, but really, it is a fun idea. When I discovered about the upcoming birth of my first grandson, I started scrap booking for him and many of those pages contained poems that I had written for him. There are such a lot of poems that have been written with Halloween as their inspiration that making a Halloween poem scrapbook can help tie together your commemoration of the holiday.

for example, let me say your girl is going to get dressed up as a magician for Halloween. Your Halloween poem scrapbook page will, naturally, contain photos of her in her cute costume, right? Why not take the following poem and type it into your word processor :

The magicians don their pointed hats, The magicians croak and croon, The magicians ride their broomsticks, Away outside the moon.

The hags don their flowing cloaks, The hags stir their brew. The witches chant their wizardry spells, all of the dark hours through.

The hags stroke their big black pussies, They comb their locks of gray, Yet when the first faint daylight comes. The hags hide away.

Make it a completely unique or frightful font and print it out. Then paste it in the middle of some black scrap booking paper, and place footage of your daughter in costume around it and perhaps some cut outs of varied magicians some on brooms, some stirring a cauldron, some just posing, and then do a little journaling to totally remember the night. And do not forget to put the date on the page!

you'll be able to find all kinds of poems for your Halloween poem scrapbook pages. Be creative and perhaps make a whole book of Halloween memories all centering around varied poems. There are lots and lots of existing poems, but you can also try your hand at writing your own Halloween poems. Think about what kinds of memories the season conjures up and photographs that you see in your head when you think of Halloween and then put those pictures and memories into words. Remember, a poem doesn't have to me, but it should flow simply and sound pretty to the ear.

Making a Halloween poem scrapbook can be really fun if you let it be. Of course, the key to scrap booking is to use your imagination and be creative with what you have. When you are making a Halloween poem scrapbook page, just go nuts and let your intellect be your guide. Add and take away components until your Halloween poem scrapbook page looks just as you imagined it might look. Then be happy with your hard work!
