Halloween is our day

The issues with being someone who doesn't dress conventionally

The cats meowed at the rising moon

The leaves crunched beneath our feet

We went for a walk on Halloween

Dressed all in black, this was our day

Our long leather coats flapped behind us

Our boots clomped on the ground

It was late on Halloween

Hand in hand, this was our day

People no longer look

People no longer stared

We were just older kids on Halloween

Having fun, this was our day

Children ran up to us

Children thought we were cool

Parents didn’t mind on Halloween

Because it was fun not a choice, this was our day

The next day we went out

The sun shining bright

Out into town, day after Halloween

Dressed all in black, just another day

Heads turned in our directs

Heads were turned by parents away

We were now a disgrace, day after Halloween

Back to how it normally is, just another day

This is such a well written poem! It was so easy to read and it was almost like I was reading a story as the words were so fluid. The poem's message is a sad fact about today's world. I think you did really well!
