Monster Poetry

The Beast

By Nicholas Payne (Quashnet School, Mashpee MA)

Be careful, watch out
It's coming, don't shout
It has seven eyes and makes you scream
I guess a good name could be Eye Scream
So about him do not dream
Not a good kind
Not a good find
Multiple arms deciding your demise
Swords, hammers and sparks that fly,
Be sure to cover your eyes
A sting of poison, a breath of fire sure to scare
Just be careful not to burn off your hair
As scary and frightening as can be
For each victim, he plants one tree.
