Xpress, the Coolest Section of the St. Petersburg Times, is the home for features, news and views of interest to young readers. Most of the work in Xpress, which appears on Mondays in Floridian, is produced by the Times' X-Team. The team of journalists ages 9-17 from around the Tampa Bay area is selected every year at the end of the school year to serve during the following school term. The current team of 12 was chosen out of 150 applicants. Watch for X-Team application forms in Xpress during the month of May.

Halloween Haiboo

By NANCY GREEN

© St. Petersburg Times,
published October 29, 2001


With thanks to teacher Susan Palmer at Curtis Fundamental Elementary School in Clearwater for the clever headline above (she says she's been having her students write "haiboo" for years), we bring you some haiku poetry that will scare the socks off you. Well, okay, it probably won't do that, but these three-line poems of five, seven and five syllables about all things orange, black and ghostly will put you in the Halloween spirit.

Today's Xpressions also features some non-Halloween work in black and white. See instructions on about how to submit your work for future editions.
