Best Bogeymen Poems

Let go of the rope my tethered friend
Your holding on to a futile end.

For if you fall what’s the consequence?
But if never tried life won’t make sense.

And if you try and don’t succeed 
You just may find its all you need.

See God is in the...

More than a pot of gold awaits beyond the rainbow’s end;
Leprechaun’s are of the faerie clan and they play tricks.
The clever little bugger’s are sure, your mind to send;
on fascinating journeys that’ll leave you in a fix!

You may end up with two noses for, poking...

Hush now, my sweet angel,
you needn't fear the dark.
Let mommy tuck you in
as you dream of the park.

No more silly stories
of being scared at night.
It's merely a bad dream
everything is all right.

There are no bogeymen
what you heard was a rat.
And other strange noises
are probably the...

Home is Where

Home is where
your first and lost loves linger
the scent of Cusson’s Imperial Leather
and lavender, like a silken scarf
curls and twines around your head, 
her marshmallow touch,
teasing your memory.

Home is where
fresh baked bread and apple pie,
 jams and jellies, all cooling
in the afternoon’s mellow light,
greet you...

My country is the beautiful sun
My country is not the hard winter
My country is an often green Eden
Always languid and tropical at dawn.

It’s a country where the crowing of roosters
Revives everybody every morning
It’s a country furnished with filthy slush and rocks
Where nature is a vast...

ETHREE

Witch
Sneering
Bubbly
A pimply nose
To be feared by all
So Halloween friendly

More terrifying than ghosts
Placing eye of newt in cauldrons
Pure evil in our fantasy books
Horribly foul and mean in faerie tales.
A frozen heart places children in ovens

Crones of the worst sort avoided at every turn
Please good children, cross...

What do children dream of when they go to sleep at night
and do their hearts beat faster when the world is out of sight
do they dream of Christmas or a birthday yet to come
of happy days or holidays - and playing in the sun

A place...

All was dark and quiet in the house as I got up to pee
Not a sound from a mouse, but I could hear my hammering heart inside me
I was so scared of the dark and hated getting up in the middle of the night
I knew...

Let us stroll down memory lane;
skipping past the hurts locked in time.
Choosing days where life felt sublime;
let's revisit those once again.

Remember when you were a child;
think of the games you played for fun.
And when you hit that first home run,
your team applauded; how you smiled!

Hide-and-seek...

We cannot change who we are at our core;
the only option allotted to us
is how we choose to live in the here and now.
We can meld with the darkness under a cloak of lies
or embrace God's light, a beacon of truth!
Light exposes evil,
so it flees...

There's more than golf balls on the moon, 
More than stars and stripes, 
More than lunar rover tracks, 
And two subsatellites. 
Four hundred thousand pounds of junk 
Contaminate the place. 
It's sad to think our happy moon's 
A teenaged pimple face. 

There's more than golf...

It's ok to cry
If you feel dead inside
And you have run out of hiding places 
That can lift and warm your pride
From the swings and slides
That use to be fairground rides
Way back when you where 10
And you believed in bogeymen 
It's lonely on the naughty...

Memories
fuel nostalgic dreams
tethered to
family
and innocence; lost to time...
when I was a child.

Bogeymen,
back then, were pretend...
I'd stay out
all summer,
playing till it was too dark
to see anything.

Supper was
served at the table,
mum would cook
a hot meal
and we kids did the dishes...
that was our routine.

Marbles and
bubblegum cards were
like money,
I'd...
