John Gondolf Poet Monorhyme

A Zombie Holiday

“It’s the end of October time for vacation,”
said Mr. Graveyard Zombie, “it’s been a long duration
since we last went on a haunt across the nation,
and what should be our final destination?”
Replied Mrs. Zombie without any hesitation,
“I’m sure I know the perfect location;
back to the hood and haunt the next generation;
for it is they who gave us a life of vexation,
and this to be their consolation
for it’s we who are cursed with eternal damnation.”

Alexis Y. February 5, 2018 at 7:12 PM Hi John, I enjoyed your take on the contest theme. Good title, monorhymes and humor. I really appreciate that you participated in my contest.

Rhoda Tripp January 6, 2018 at 11:22 PM This is a very fun read, John. Cute as all get out. Lol. John Gondolf January 7, 2018 at 2:50 PM I wrote this in about 15 minutes. There are over 5,000 words ending in 'tion' to rhyme; you could go on and on without running out of rhymes. The downside is all are multi-syllable so if you are counting syllables it makes it difficult.

Connie Marcum Wong October 27, 2017 at 1:22 PM I loved your 'back to the hood' phrase in your fun entry John. Best of luck in the contest. : ) John Gondolf October 27, 2017 at 1:36 PM Thank you, Connie, I glad you enjoyed it. John

Kim Rodrigues October 25, 2017 at 10:15 PM This is great! GL in contest! John Gondolf October 26, 2017 at 6:23 AM Thank you, Kim, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm not sure if it is scary enough or has enough of a Halloween theme but it was fun to write.

Andrea Dietrich October 25, 2017 at 7:20 PM Oh, that is GOOD work, John. Not so scary but very clever!! (are you a Walking Dead fan like me?) John Gondolf October 25, 2017 at 7:48 PM Thanks, Andrea. Actually I’m not a big fan of horror shows, perhaps if I watched Walking Dead it might be more scary. My Halloween theme is not very strong either but it was a fun write. I hope everyone enjoys reading it.
