Best Dreadful Poems

As spring showers soaked through to my soft skin,
In hapless home in youthful age akin,
Through stabbing sorrow's sleeplessness I knew,
I grappled grief as fantom fears came true.
He was gone, greener pastures caused his leave.
My haunted heart was left bereft to grieve.
For seven yearning years his...

covid-19 deaths,
unemployment on the rise...
so is homelessness.

the pain very real
our ship of state is living...
a complete nightmare.

no relief in sight
not quite a happy new year...
lifeline held hostage.

Lightning and thunder did clash
In ventricles within my heart
Vying whether to lash
At every part

That feels emotions
In hearts of dames
Whose love motions and portions
Laid claims

To the indifference my heart felt
When Hazel Fidelia ended our engagement
In July nineteen seventy seven to melt
The betrothal arrangement

I thought made in...

An old man tries to find his wings.
Once he flew up near his puppet strings. A calm loving stare between his wondering eyes. Remembering that day as he search the sky. A stinging passion near the bees. A sad spirit man who lost his mate...

Graves of many, dreadful dark and spooky.
Spiders hung and swayed a little kooky.
Pumpkins fierce howling red glow.
Walking-dead knock blow-by-blow.
Black wild cat moved its tail slightly fluky.

Dracula went out dressed as cranky Grinch.
Drank few too many got into tight pinch.
By foot dangled the mayor,
Threw him over...

Do you remember when?
That time long before Formaldehyde kicked in?
When the Transformer grew your freedom wings, blew your neurons in?
That time when your story kissed her Blue Violet bleeding grin?
A wet ripe juicy bruised plum for sucking sins

Pure girl, the fallen angel does possess
Envelops her, unwanted legacy
No way out, fighting fate is her life's test
Night’s blackest suitors are her destiny
Youth’s betrayed friend, to rescue she risks all

Dark paranormal quest, what will they find?
Redemption or damnation may befall
Endgangered soul is tortured by her...

The dreadful phone call came, “we have bad news”.
Somehow I already knew, but the words screamed in my mind.
“You have cancer”, and an aggressive kind.
For the first time, I yelled at God, threw things across a porch.
I had been through too much trauma as it...

I'm a Piketown son who left his mum
To sail the eastern shores
Spent a year in Gloucester
'mong the barkeeps and the whores

Then a man came 'round to Gloucester town
Said boys I need a few
Strapping lads such as yourselves
To join me whalin' crew

The pay is mighty lowly...

It's been awhile...

>/center>It seems we're held captive in these dreadful years  
 So much loss... precious lives: loved ones and friends
Stolen without mercy; yet grief and fears we bare
For I know, like all enemies, this too has an end
By His gift of mercy, our...

Dreams can be
Good to heaven
Bad to hell
I had a dream 
Very very dreadful
It started houseful
With cries rule
I had lost my mother
I was steady still
People console me
Around but no result
Instead of people around
I was left all alone
The imagination without her
Had shot circuited me
Who will come to...

Dreadful Fairytale

Stay away from the paint.
You’ll kill yourself on the swing.
The green VW cannot contain all of you.
Change into something more modest.
Sequined slippers sparkle gauche.

It is the pink and kerneled 
lures me under the tent of
impossibility.  I do not fathom
aviaries of peakcocked humans 
reaching...

The sweetness short lingered and enjoyed
The dreadful aftermath - 
Long suffered and happiness forfeit
The ultimate - undertaker ordained

Such inexpressible sufferings
Staring at the life buzzing before their eyes 
So unsympathetic of theirs
When they are fading so steadily out of this life

Unregulated sweetness and enjoyment
Uncontrolled poverty and...

Her clothes soaks in a sea of sweat,
her skin wet, brown and muddy,
as though floating in a Lake with debris.
Notorious in her screams
and dangerous in her gaze

Making her the worst villain of the neighborhood
been greatly antagonistic to Manhood
as agony and frustration befell her,
comparative to experiencing...
