Best Goosebumps Poems

See how the wind's of March bluster, torment;
they break boughs and chase the fallen leaves.
Oh hear, the frozen garden bed's lament,           
as twigs across the way skate 'cross the pond.     ...

Hard-working, calloused hands 
firmly imprint ridges upon my back.
Your sandpaper face, like a fine file, 
smooths against my neck gently.
Like your rugged bristle terrain, 
my arm hairs stand erect.

i’ve goosebumps
   bold and shrill
      pinpoints that peak

my arms once relaxed
   and warm
but shadows reveal
boy and father silhouettes 

alongside the jagged fireplace stone
and a           creaking uttered

March brushes past us, in its blustery haste

And we, who stand where Winter’s chill once laid waste,

Watch in awe, the breath of Spring ignite the earth.

Around cold Winter’s girth, warm Spring wraps its mirth.

We know, after every death, there is rebirth....

I stayed there, for too long
in the cruel arms of a sunset
that had forgotten I was there.
Its wink slowly cast an itchy
blanket over the hope I had found
in blue skies; My skin reached upward,
blistered by the groan of mortality’s tick.
There is little time to waste.

Electrical

Tiny dermal vibrations

Tingly, soft of exquisite texture

Warm, of porcelain delicacy and tone

Your skin pulse mixes with the thrum of mine

Tender touches cuing tiny shivers of your surfaces

Small flutters where my fingertips dance, barely brushing

Squeaky little deep-throat moans tell me it's what you're desiring

I continue my...

Here I am,
sitting at my desk watching an old 
romantic comedy on my computer, 
the kind of thing I wouldn’t have been 
caught dead watching in my youth.

The height of uncool,
the epitome of maudlin sentimentality,
I’d have snorted years ago,
adding an exaggerated eye roll
for good measure...

Some stories give me goosebumps. They are found 
in books and films that tell of wicked clowns
or evil children whose cold, empty eyes
cast spells on hapless people all around.

To chase that eerie feeling from my mind,
I spend an hour watching Looney Tunes!

True stories really chill...

A creak in the night could
Be a floorboard expanding.
A squeak in the darkness...
From a mouse scrambling outside,
A bump in the shadows
Is the cat jumping off a chair?

An iron-gate rattling -
Shaken by the wind.
The neighbours’ dog  barking,
Disturbed by a passerby.
That rustle was surely,
Surely not in...

Gray skies and heavy fogs
Gusty wind with hovering calls
Downpour of cold raindrops 
Soaking wet oak treetops

Swaying meadows of hilltops
Delighted deer grazing on grass
Green pasture and turkey flocks
Blue pond with two mallards

Pink moon’s gleams at dawn
Silvery-pink dusting on lake-top
Scatters of nippy dewdrops
Chilly goosebumps on arms...

Skeleton quay - abridged for Give Me Goosebumps contest



When the sniper fired his rifle and his faithful canine fell
A second bullet found his heart and he went down as well
Might we stay together, somehow he deigned to try
His last exhale the whispered vow, Lord, we...

Goosebumps expose exhilaration-bliss
Wonderment shouting from my heart’s abyss.

Tingly sensation victoriously delightful
Indeed, they’re physiologically helpful.

Relieving me from prophylaxis tension
They aid in my comfort room’s exertion.

Sweat release they fulfill in their presence
Midst my struggle to get rid of body’s toxic license. 

This biological engagement with goosebumps’ nature
Joyously...

Foreword: Contains excepts from, and additions to, my own three part poem ‘Bone Idol’, which is way too long to submit here.

He lingers on the quayside and heeds the phantom howls
Out on mist shrouded water his hero dog now prowls
While mortal men of flesh...

Perched oval moon glared in baleful triumph;

it’s huge, round face turned my bones to goo!

Mr. Orb’s rapt, relentless gaze raised goosebumps;

scared-goo-feet flew, ‘cause, I swear, it yelled boo!

Forever Remains

Loving you was like staring at sunlight,
thru to another dimension parallel to ours.
Seeing your silhouette through the doorway
in the background, lavishing your look.

The very thought of you
makes me tremble in my knees!
My heart would race every time,
I'd see you from across the room.

I ached...
