Tag You'Re It

The following poem is a poem trouvee made from a collection of movie poster tag lines.

Let’s play a game
When he comes home
It’s date night
Ready or not here he comes
It’s date night
When the darkness comes
It’s date night
Some homes are born evil
It’s date night

Fear comes full circle
He knows where you sleep
He’ll shatter your dreams
Into your dreams he’ll creep.

Let’s play house.
Who will be his bride tonight?
Till death do you part.
Sharing is scaring.
The tell-tale heart
Love never dies; it kills
And if you love chills and thrills 
It’ll be the night of your life.
It’s date night.
A night to die for.
Evil has a destiny and 
Tonight evil gets raw.
It’s date night.
Will it ever stop?
A different set of jaws
You’ve been warned
It’s date night
You’ll be dead by dawn
Cause if you don’t wake up screaming,
You won’t wake up at all.
