This is just a poem I came up with sometime in October. I never write poetry, and I never have done any poems before that are worth reading, so I guess you could call this my first one :) Oh! And you'll probably notice, some of the lines don't rhyme, but do you know how hard it is to come up with a short story thing that's also a poem, and make everything rhyme and make sense at the same time? It's hard...especially for someone who hates writing poetry. 'Points to self' Yeah I hate it, so I don't know how I came up with this...I guess it was some freak inspiration to write a poem :)

The season of autumn has begun
And Halloween is here
Night has fallen, the sky is dark
And the creatures you shall fear The Wind is blowing through the trees A slight chill is in the air
The moon is full, the stars are bright
As the Red Wood Phantom wanders from his lair…
He creeps out of the forest
And lurks within the streets
He waits and watches eagerly
For here come his tasty treats…
They're carrying small goodie bags
All dressed as fearsome things
They're unaware of his presence
And at this thought, the Phantom grins
He wears a hooded cloak of velvet black
His eyes are piercing red
His feet are concealed beneath his flowing cloak
And his hands reach out instead
One slithers out from behind the tree
The fingers curl around the trunk
Two glowing eyes appear beneath a hood
And all you hear is 'Thunk'!
The goodie bags drop to the ground
The children too scared to speak
One among the children, however
Knows whom the Phantom seeks…
His blue eyes begin to widen
As a wisp of light smoke slips through his lips
A chill runs through him, he shivers
And two glowing rings form around his waist
The Phantom doesn't notice this
As he swiftly glides into the air
He crosses his arms and looks down upon
The children at whom he stares
The treats are not in the goodie bags
But what lies beneath the masks
For under one, and one alone
Lies the Phantom's greatest snack
The blue eyed teen steps forward
He is older than the rest
He glares up at the Phantom
Who shows not the least bit of interest Until…
The teen reaches up one hand And pulls the mask off of his face
His eyes now glow green, his hair is white
He seems slightly out of place
The Phantom grins its evil smile
Its eyes fixed in a glare
The teen named Danny Phantom
Then flies up into the air
The Phantom raises up its arm
Revealing rope like fingers
They wrap around Danny, binding his arms to his side
And still the Phantom lingers
He floats towards Danny
His eyes showing no fear
He grins, opens his mouth up wide
And leans near…
Danny closes his eyes in concentration
His hands begin to glow green
The Phantom hesitates, in confusion
And Danny suddenly breaks free
The Phantom is thrown backwards
His fingers sucking back into his hand He growls in anger, and whips around
Shooting ecto as if to see how much Danny can withstand
Danny dives to the right The black ecto missing by a mile
The Phantom suddenly grins in triumph
Needle sharp teeth appearing in his smile
He suddenly lunges forward Before Danny can react
And tackles him to the ground
Pinning him there on his back
The children who have watched the fight
Scream in fear and run away
Luckily though they don't remember
The name of the teen that took them trick-or treating that day
Danny struggles in the Phantom's grasp Trying desperately to get away
But the Phantom pins him tighter
And grins down at his prey
Danny tries to phase through his grasp
Sinking halfway through the ground
But the Phantom grabs his arm
And jerks him back up without a sound
He tosses him through the air
And Danny smacks into a tree
The Phantom glides back over to him
And Danny glances up to see…
The Phantom opens his mouth again
But this time it is to speak
He grins evilly down at Danny
Who he thought was quite unique I am the Phantom of the Red Wood Forest
I have come to you to speak
Out of all the ghosts around
I have chosen you to seek My forest is quite empty
No more ghosties left for me
The reason for this being Because your thermos causes them to flee
Without ghosts
I will not survive
For I must take their energy
To stay alive
You are a foolish child Danny Phantom
And for that you now must pay
Because now I have no ghosties
To take the energy from today He suddenly lunged forward And Danny threw himself out of the way
The Phantom turned, and let loose a shriek
That would be sure to make him pay
Danny clasped his hands over his ears
As he rolled into the sand
The Phantom than stopped his shrieking
As he than raised up his hand
Danny turned intangible
The ecto missed and hit the grass
The Phantom than growled with fury
As he had missed his second chance
Danny flew into the air
Ecto forming in his hands
And just than as the Phantom turned
He was hit right where he stands
The ecto blew him backwards
Knocking him off his feet
And Danny flew down to the ground
The Phantom moaning in defeat
He picked himself up slowly
And stared Danny in the eye
He than growled in frustration
Letting loose an angry sigh
If you thought you won
You're far from right
Because I will return again
Next Halloween Night…
And when I do
I'll make you pay
For what you've done to me
On this chilling day
With these last words
The Phantom fled
He crept back to the forest to hunt
And there was no more to be said
Two light blue rings
Formed around Danny's waist
He went back to normal again
No time to waste
He pulled back on his mask
Grabbed the goodie bags from the ground
And went back to find
His trick-or treating group in the town
The spine-chilling night had finally finished And the children hadn't a clue
That the teen that had taken them for candy
Was the one who had frightened them to…
THE END
