I Am Anaya Poet Personification

Notes About The Poem

Wild Animal Contest Poetry Contest

N/A

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!

Mystic Rose Rose October 20, 2023 at 3:34 PM A very scary intense poem, that hits the note for Halloween, I think I better stay away, gl in the contest I Am Anaya October 20, 2023 at 7:06 PM Mystic, It's just for fun. I saw yours brewing, scary as well! Thank you, Mystic Rose!

Eve Roper October 18, 2023 at 6:56 PM Halloween in the making, sinister write. Good one I Am Anaya October 18, 2023 at 8:33 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

Len Gasun October 18, 2023 at 6:46 PM The scent of the Halloween is on the air through your very creative and awesome personification poem my dear poet friend Anaya. I'm loving and enjoying this a lot while resting awhile. Thank you so much for sharing, your loving visit, wishes and pieces of advice. Many Blessings to you always and your writings. Hugs I Am Anaya October 18, 2023 at 8:34 PM Len, I just wanted to make sure you are getting enough rest, and I will pray that you do, little sister. :)

The Situation October 18, 2023 at 6:37 PM It's a statment in imagination. Weather we take it serious or not depends on the you in this piece. Maybe diabolical. I Am Anaya October 18, 2023 at 8:37 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

Yann Rolland October 17, 2023 at 11:36 PM it seems so realistic, bogeyman takes real life in your gracious poem, enjoyed reading your poem yann I Am Anaya October 18, 2023 at 12:34 PM Yann, I found it humorous when writing it. Hope it's not too scary! Thank you. xoxox

Victor Buhagiar October 17, 2023 at 12:39 PM No wonder I am far away from your bogeyman :) I had hopes you would join me in my delicious food. Oh well! Blessings anyway. I Am Anaya October 17, 2023 at 12:49 PM Lol, are you a chef? Shhh...the bogeyman doesn't smell your scent, you are safe and sound. Snug as a bug. xooxox

Ink Empress October 17, 2023 at 11:53 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? I Am Anaya October 17, 2023 at 12:00 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
