Poem written based on a true experience going in a horror house by horror train. My friend was wondering about the stinky smell, then came to realize my shoe was on his face. I supposed to use my shoe to hit anyone who'll touch me.

Very cute and creative take on this topic. I really enjoyed this. When I was young and could tolerate rides, I loved going on the scariest ones

Thanks a lot for reading and uplifting words. Usually, I removed my shoe or step-in for self-defence, to hit anyone who will touch me, but my friend grabbed and hugged me too tight. So when we went out from horror house by train, my shoe was on his face. I edited changing 3 words dear.

Creative way to go with this one. I would not want to join them in going through this haunted house. Thanks for sharing this contest entry with us. It reads like a good contender to me. Sara K

Thanks a lot for reading this poem my dear Sara. A true experience bu i replaced shoe to bag. I removed it as weapon or self defense but my friend, hugged me too tight and my shoe went to his face. I was laughing when we went out the horror house by train
