Best Scare Poems

I am floating lazily in the ocean, enjoying myself when I suddenly realize…
I am wearing a Band-Aid,
A Band-Aid over a small cut.
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
 
I suddenly remember that a great white shark can smell a drop of blood
More than a mile...

After about three days
I realized that I felt better
And I was terrified

Because that just means
That I have successfully turned up the volume
In my headphones so loud 
That I drowned out every last thought I had

When I realize that it is a good day
I wonder how...

Loved The Scare


By lamplight, she at night escapes

into her scary world of books.

There she can hide behind dark drapes

inside a mystery that hooks

and throws her right inside the plot.

Soon, ghastly scenes make her aware

her stable world, to leave, cannot.

She slams book closed- but loved the...

They called me diseased.
 
Mentally ill.
 
…Is it really that horrifying to “cope” this way?
 
When is reality it’s no worse than smoking or drinking
 
With those addictions you can’t see the physical damage inflicted
 
It’s all internal.
 
So why is this worse?
 
Worse than...

I crept into the pit of hell all alone. Contingent upon my lifestyle I knew this could be my last day alive…

She haunted me in my dreams. She terrorized me in the sunlight but through it all she never was able to reach out and...

A centipede found its way into our home
My hairs stood on end for hours on end! 

And while we tried learning about it on Google search, 
in a dark and damp crevice it made its perch

All the cyber net did was to amplify my fears
It...

feared and fearless in his prime,
   cracking, crumbling in due time.

     accusing, haranguing, his voice 
     could shake the most cavernous hall,
     he respected neither authority
     nor...

Normal people scare me


The other day,
I shuffled my way,
down the street,
minding my own business.

As I raised my glance upwards
to the oncoming pedestrian
traffic on the busy sidewalk,
I noticed a young woman (I think)
as she (?) approached me,

I saw her,
navigating her way through
the stream of people crossing
in...

Frank N. Stein began to whine,
  He has been accused of awful crime,
     Scaring little kids in their bed,
Setting off metal detectors with his head,
     He just might need a redesign....

It was on one Tuesday arvo shopping at the hardware store,
When I noticed Vicar Prendegast come walking through the door,
He walked up to the counter with a strained look on his face,
I could see that he’s not happy so I let him take my place.

Poetic Halloween Scare


The bowls of damnation, when shall we poets meet again?
In delightful darkness, enchanted evil or pain
Of witches cackling, caldrons boiling and labyrinths
Enter with a scream the haunted hell inhabitants
With scurrying spiders, slithering snakes and shadows
The condemned corpses come out to play in their...

If 'tis a fright, you so desire
Then I shall give thee words most dire
It's of a group that's filled with ire
Towards the common thrift-shop buyer
For what these shoppers do admire
Is lower cost, and not these higher
Prices that plague the attire
Of this group we deem a...

There was a young fellow from Deets
Who went out for Halloween treats.
He knocked on a door,
Ghoul covered in gore
Quite frightened him out of his sheets.

He dropped all his treats on the street.
The chasing ghoul then stopped to eat. 
"When all's said and done
This isn't much...

Freezing sweat trickled down my back, soaking me as I fled 
It felt like the hounds of hell were catching up to me.
Quivering with terror I raced through the undergrowth
I could feel their breath both scorchingly hot yet icy cold.

All around me grusome things lurked...

KRAMPUS CHRISTMAS
All hope is lost for children 
If their festive spirit dies,
The Christmas magic disappears 
As they look through older eyes.

No more milk and cookies
Or a sign for Santa`s sleigh,
Or carrots for the reindeer
To eat on Christmas day.

Don’t give up believing
Don’t let the doubters win,
Always...
