the old woman in the upstairs window
the old woman in the upstairs window
the old woman’s cottage
out in the woods
on a small dirt road
was a mystical place
for the boy and his friends
they were told by
other boys that a
ghost lived with her
they got a glimpse
of her once when she
went to the well
to draw a bucket
she wore a long black dress
and white hair down...

scary night sounds
scary night sounds
he hears the night woods
soft sounds as well as scary
different from day woods
he lies in his cold bed
in cold room
hears frozen trees
grinding against each other
in the cold night wind
a hard unpleasant sound
hears distant sounds
far away in the hills
is it the sound of a wolf
or a coyote seeking a mate

The Monster
The Monster came out of the deep dark cave.
It ate everyone but me.
The following day the Monster once again came out of the deep dark cave.
It ate everyone but me.
The next day the Monster emerged from the deep dark cave.
It ate everyone but me.
For you see, I am the Monster.

monster
I always told my mom that there was a monster under my bed. She of course never believed me,she always said that i had an over imagination. She gave me a night light so the monster would go away,but that never helped,it just angered her. There was nothing I could do to get rid of this monster,so I ignored it,I listened to music every night so I couldn’t hear the screams. I’m 16 now,the monster is ...

The Creepy Old House
In a creepy old house I found a creepy old doll.
I bent to pick it up and boy did I have a fall. I stood up had a lump
on my head, but otherwise aright looked out the window, day had
turned to night. I looked and looked but did not find the doll.
I turned to leave and there it was hanging by its neck
against the wall. Its creepy smile seemed to say,
"Come and play with me my friend. We can p...

Thaumaturgically Charged
Now I have released the Beast
I send it forth
Tail whipping; teeth snatching
the old
the young
running
thither and yon
until thaumaturgically charged
it breaks forth
Lightning striking
red slash/
and lo
flashing
black and gold
until thaumaturgically charged
it knows....
Peace

A Silly Goblin Poem
The Goblins of
the night,
they give me
such a fright.
They leave about
this green slime.
I awaken, oh
it was just
a dream.
No need for
a scream.
I look at
the clock for
the time, but
it is covered
in green slime!
