Notes About The Poem

"Each line is made up of 17 syllables, making each line a Monoku"  

Listen to poem:

Romancing a Monoku Horror Story

I could watch a horror movie; but, only if you would hold my hand
As all the scary bits would frighten me, I hope you can understand
And you would have to stay a few days until it was out of my head
Be the action hero and check for the monsters underneath my bed
Readily accept calls in the middle of night; I'm having more frights
Fact it would be better if you came over stay for a few more nights
Can't sleep another night without you; without you, I can't recover
Besides, it would be just another nightmare moving in with mother

Yeah, just another horror story moving in with mother . . "Mother"
