WINNER
Goblins, ghosts, and ghouls
Trudge across the field.
Popular high school faces
Cleverly concealed.
The football game is halted
The fans are still as clay
When costumed students fly
Up, Up, and Away.
Football players stare
The kicker forgets to kick
Was it a Halloween treat?
Or was it just a trick?
Emily Beeson loves to read, write, and blog about picture books when she isn't running after her two little ones. Last year, she sold her first poem to The Friend and eagerly searches the magazine each month hoping to see her name in print. http://whimsybooks.livejournal.com

RUNNER-UP
It was half-time. Sharon waited eagerly for John's first time performing in the marching band. She knew exactly where he stood.
"Which one is he?" Susan asked.
"He's third from the left in the fourth row."
"That doesn't look like John."
Panic spread through Sharon. That wasn't John at all. In fact, no one in the band looked like himself. These faces were hollow, and their hands, bones, and their uniforms hung on fleshless bodies.
Kathy Steck is new to Setauket, New York, this year, with her husband and two daughters, who inspire many of her picture books. She enjoys yoga, sewing, skiing (if she had the chance), and play time with her kids, AND... writing. She is passionate about finding time to work on her many book ideas.
