Best Scares Poems


Scares of Night - Poetry
Scares of night and what she bares
pensive air floats from here to there
running laps with weighted limbs
pushing past those hated hymns

Waking slow to the inner chatter
what is real and what don't matter
are dreams just that and nothing more
as I'm slamming hard another door

Off, I drift...

What Scares Me
What Scares Me

I've been here and I've been there 
and ain't nothing but one thing anywhere
that makes me scared
at the penitentiary.
Those closing bars would get 
wild hollers cause men face a century
and other men with themselves weren't true
The loud noises and sudden fights 
and a...

Love Scares Me
You scare me love
Scare me that your to good to be true
Scare me that you dont feel like I do
Scare me that I will fall alone
Scare me that I will wake and you gone
I dont want to be scared anymore
You opened so many of my...

Premium Member She Scares Me
I have the most tasteful skulls imaginable she said.
I did not think there could be such a thing but kept quiet instead.
They are beautifully done, would look great in a bedroom.
I took her word for it, could barely see them on Zoom.

I have vampire teeth...

What Scares Me Most
to not see you when i wake up
or to see you but not as you are
i love you but you didnt have to change
so much it sickens me

you dont have to try to make me jealous
you do your job just fine
but look at yourself in...

It Scares Me
it is getting to hot inside this skin
too cramped inside this small box
the one you let me fall down in
my thoughts are contradicting
and you leave me curious and wondering 
you warned me not to get attached
and got mad when i was careful
told me you had...

Affairs Scares
Affairs Scares

With women Trump likes having affairs,
Even though about them never cares;
He commits misogyny;
Abnormal psychology;
His attitude about women surely scares.

My Best Friend

Dear Best Friend,
I would be scared to lose you.
You have been
my best friend
since third grade.
Everyday I do not see you
I get scared
something
happened to you.

xoxo me...

Premium Member Scares An American Sonnet
Tons of pineapples and mozzarella,
the perfect side for a scary movie;
Pie built out of two handed slices,
my mouth is already watering;

Stuck waiting nearly thirty minutes,
I could have sworn they said fifteen;
Hangrier with every millisecond,
driver jump that three car pile up! 

After twenty more the doorbell...

Premium Member Sambractia Scares Her Familiar Cat
Sambractia, a tidy blue soothsaying witch with a “hey hey hey”
startled October’s aged north wind as she went about her great day
A whole lot of debris and garbage blew against her in a weird way
which made her familiar cat laugh as he hid down deep...

Premium Member It Thrills Me It Scares Me
I love it, I hate it. It scares me, it thrills me.
It is magical, mystical, ethereal, and yet….
There is a part of it that is so beyond my grasp
I try to grab onto its robes and it races off without me.
A coven of interesting people,...

Premium Member Halloween scares
Should I write a poem about Halloween,
full of psychological horrors and gruesome things?

Like deep romantic wounds getting infected,
herpe kisses or Donald Trump getting elected?

I could lean on shuddery tropes, like haunted houses
or more real world threats, like cutthroat spouses.

I could make you look up scary...

Friends
FRIENDS
Friends are like fruits
We need them for our health and nourishment
We need them at all times.
When a fruit is unripe, its existence only gives hope and curiosity:
Hope that one day it will ripe for our consumption,
Curiosity of how it will taste when it is ripe....
