How the Greek Gods Came to Be
by Lilah O'Connor
How the Greek gods came to be,
That’s a hard question even for me,
I study them, I read about them, I watch videos too,
There is still only so much I can teach you,
There’s Zeus,he is the king of the gods,
He is so serious he hardly ever nods,
There is Hera, She is the queen,
She is known in the stories as selfish and mean,
Her sons are Ares, and hephaestus too,
That’s not even it, I have nine more for you,
Artemis and Apollo are identical twins,
In all of the arguments, Artemis wins,
There’s Athena and there is Hermes as well,
But still, that is only a few more to tell,
There’s Dionysus and Poseidon,who's the god of the sea,
Demeter controls nature, down to every tree,
Aphrodite is the goddess of love,
Her symbols are a belt and a dove,
Hades controls all of the dead,
He hates everyone, at least that is what’s said,
In all of the myths, there is much more to tell,
There’s legends, and monsters, and heroes as well,
Most people in Greece believe the myths are true,
They praise the gods, the heroes too,
They believe they are immortal so they will always be there,
They believe in a thousand years they will not get a single gray hair,
While most doubt this is even true,
I’ll leave the decisions up to you.

An Extremely Quarantine Halloween
by Zoe Hidier
I'm not scared of ghosts this year,
because they can't get very near
What a weird Halloween,
all because of Covid-19?
Nor are the witches raving,
because they are all self-isolating
What a weird Halloween!
all because of Covid-19
The goblins haven't turned up either,
because there running such high fevers
What a bizarre Halloween,
all because of Covid-19
"Hey!Where'd you get that mask?"
"Aetna!"( My grandparents healthcare plan!)
Cover your mouth and nose but not your eyes
Is that candy sanitized?
What a weird Halloween ,
just because there's no vaccine!
We will get through Covid-19!
Halloween
by Eleanor Marsidi-Sedgewick
Pumpkins growing,
Ghosts are moaning,
The wind is blowing,
Fall is near,
Black cats prowling,
Werewolves howling,
Children Overpowering,
Halloween is near,
Wind is whipping,
Hot cocoa sipping,
Pumpkin juice dripping,
Fall is here,
Jack o’lanterns grinning,
Costumes winning,
Candy bidding,
Halloween is here.

Pumpkins all around
With eyes that can be found.
Scary costumes in the street
Stealing candy while being discreet
Ghosts, Goblins, Vampires
Building a candy empire
Twix, M&Ms, milky ways
Candy every which way
Knocking on doors
Banging on the floor
Demanding sweets
When they meet
Autumn Poem
by Maya F.
The vibrance hiding underneath
the same old covers colored green
unmasked themselves so they were free
and fall escaped from every tree
