These Halloween poems provide a model for experimenting with rhyming at the beginning of lines. The idea of beginning line rhymes can be extended to other themes/topics, for example animals.
In presenting the Halloween theme, it would be a good idea to use only one of the three poems as a model, leaving more scope for students to develop their own ideas. In addition to the three provided, there are the following possibilities, and you can add your own ideas.
Incubus Troll Changeling Ghoul Wizard
Encouraging some leniency in exact rhyme/sound will be useful! For example, ghoul/jewel is near enough for jazz. Also, allowing rhyme in varying syllabic patterns gives more freedom, for example black/attack.
Students should be encouraged to compile rhyme banks before launching into writing a complete poem which they are usually keen to attempt! For example:
ghost host most toast roast
Example poems:
Vampire
With Vampires it Transpires that on a Fang they Hang small Specks from torn Necks where Blood like a Flood leaves Dots as the Spots of deaths Pith
Witches
Try Witches with evil Twitches, always Brooming for Zooming, dressing Black to Smack you at Night and suck Fright from Faces without Traces in blank Eyes
Ghosts
Take Ghosts, theyre Hosts to their own Haunting, Wanting Attention for the Retention of their Myth, as If they Existed, these Twisted Fakes

Halloween poems
You are going to write a Halloween poem with a twist. Instead of the rhyme being at the end of the line, it will be at the beginning! Here is an example.
Witches
Try Witches with evil Twitches, always Brooming for Zooming, dressing Black to Smack you at Night and suck Fright from Faces without Traces in blank Eyes
Task
1. Choose a subject for your poem that you could associate with Halloween. 2. Build a rhyme-bank of words linked to your chosen subject.
Here are some examples if you choose Ghost as your subject:
host most roast toast
3. Now its time to write your poem. Play with lines/sentences that put your rhyming words at the beginning before trying to write your whole and complete poem. As you do this, new rhymes and ideas will come to you.
