Bogeyman

I lurk around for prey.
Young or old, morose or gay
Seeking you is all too easy.
Cold blooded diehards that are sleazy

I’m the bogeyman a wild animal
Some of you call me Manimal
I’m a freak of nature half man,
wait for it, half animal I am

The stench of your sadistic words I smell
Yes’um, I’ll make sure you go to poetic justice hell
You sold your soul, I’m the price you’ll pay,
Did you think that you could just get away?

I’m right here forever more, savant.
I’m your bogeyman, do what you want!

Eve Roper Date: 10/18/2023 6:56:00 PM Halloween in the making, sinister write. Good one Login to Reply I Am Anaya Date: 10/18/2023 8:33:00 PM Eve I was reading your Biography in admiration...some of your accomplishments. Especially "For the Person You Have Become - dedicated to my three sons that I cradled in my arms and wish I still was" I often wonder why the poets here don't write about kin, a mystery. Most of all I love your look, you look the same (a compliment) thank you for your visit. Btw your vibe takes me to a safe place, ;D

The Situation Date: 10/18/2023 6:37:00 PM It's a statment in imagination. Weather we take it serious or not depends on the you in this piece. Maybe diabolical. Login to Reply I Am Anaya Date: 10/18/2023 8:37:00 PM To me it's all theatrics, I block it out, when I escape to for fun. What reality really scares me is World War III, that's on man not the devil or any bogeyman in our heads, IT IS MAN! Mean men suck! Thank you for your comments sitch. ;D

Ink Empress Date: 10/17/2023 11:53:00 AM Whoa very unique personification. Poetic justice, and so much more that you’ve mentioned here emanates a very powerful and strong feeling! I love the rhymes and also depth of your lines! Cold blooded diehard that are sleazy! Im feeling the halloween vibe all the way through your words! Have you decided on what to dress up as? Login to Reply I Am Anaya Date: 10/17/2023 12:00:00 PM LOL, sorry, I'm still laughing. Did this one in 1/2 an hour, just now! I knew I was going to do one on The Bogeyman. Yes, it coinsides with the Monoku I just did, btw, a test is coming for you...in your contest, and this just might make a change in peacemaking we'll see. Love to you Ink Empress! xoxo Oh, perhaps Lady Death again..I'll put up some pictures on bio maybe. LOL
