Halloween Party (Kenn Nesbitt)

I don't really like this poem much, though I did click on it first, so talk about it I shall. A poem for Fall: Halloween Party by Kenn Nesbit.

It's well composed (4-lines apiece with a set rhyme scheme AABB). It sounds like a young person wrote it. That's not a diss, but reflective of the speaker of the poem.

But even though it's fine and all, it's very bland. It's got no bite (haha! Get it? Cuz he dressed as a vampire. Ha!). I read it a minute ago and already it's slipping from my mind. Cute, I suppose, but exceedingly unexciting. Pat on the head for the form, but, overall, this is a yawn.

Favorite line: "I'm dressed up like Dracula. Man, I look cool!"
