Notes About The Poem

Ghoul or Goblin Poetry Contest

Sponsor- Joseph May

~Placed Second~

Goblins

goblins are dwarf spirits,
  grotesque in shape and size.
   godly not, but ghastly.
     gestures are crude and rude.
       greatly mischievous, they
         growl and shriek, loud or low.
            gamboling sprites of lore.
