The Haunted Poetry Workshop
A Spooky Adventure in Poems, Rhymes, Writing & Coloring
Thirteen haunted stops. Thirteen poetry challenges. One way out: write your way through.
The book
Write your way out
The mansion has thirteen haunted stops. Each stop hides a different kind of poem. And the only way out is to write your way through.
The Haunted Poetry Workshop is a spooky, funny, hands-on poetry adventure in which readers explore a haunted mansion with Quill, a ghostly guide, and a curious black cat while discovering 13 poetry forms, solving word puzzles, completing creative-writing challenges, playing poetry games, and coloring imaginative scenes.

Guided writing challenges
Prompts, word banks, and lines to fill with a real poem.
Rhyme, rhythm, syllables, imagery, and metaphor
The tools a young writer uses, practiced inside the story.
Puzzles and poetry games
Word play that belongs to the mansion, not a separate worksheet.
Coloring and creative activities
Scenes to color and finish after the writing.
