A Spooktacular Event!

Paperback Dolls is having a giveaway along with the YA Spooktacular Event, hosted by Frenzy of Noise and Wicked Awesome Books. Multiple popular authors leave guest posts across multiple blogs, carrying on a spooky story along with a giveaway after each installment. The reason I'm posting about Paperback Dolls, is because one of their giveaway requirements helped spark some creativity in me. One of the ways to enter is to write a zombie themed poem or limerick. I probably went  too far with mine, but I thought I'd share it. Here goes...

"A Random Zombie Poem

The dead shall rise from their graves

Though you may try to hide in caves

Your actions in vain

They will chomp on your brain

And you’ll join the gang

Of moaning, shuffling, slaves

This thought may make you quite blue,

But you’ll have no choice, but to join the crew

Of rotting flesh and bones

Oh, I can hear the moans

As the dead begin to breeze through

So what can you do, you ask

Because dying sounds’ an unpleasant task

There’s nothing I know

To stop this unyielding foe

Perhaps a prayer and an oxygen mask?

So what will become of the world,

After this tragedy’s unfurled?

It’ll end global warming

Though the world will be swarming

With lots of dead people and squirrels

We may as well accept

Our fate, in which we have stepped

I say we embrace

Each own’s place

In this nightmare we’d, until now, been exempt."

Before you tell me how bad it is, take into consideration it's the first poem I've ever written. Be sure to check out the giveaway, and all the other hilarious zombie poems in their comments section.
