Best Worst Nightmare Poems

He sits in the attic all day, trimming his fur
A creature without a name or a country
Climbs into my closet an hour before bedtime
I sense him, but cannot see him
For he can be invisible when he wants to be
I sense he has fangs, and claws
He...

a cold stone bears his name
grief pours onto his green plot
prostrated mom shouts "why?"...

So light and fair are these strands of gold;
So precious and rare they settle in my soul.
For when they flew, to my knees I often fell,
But now forever still are they damned in eternal hell.

Now my heart cries for what my eyes cannot do,

I guess I'm feeling some type of way. 
It’s the day after the next day.
THE VERDICT; INDICTED!
Definitely it rocked this country.
I guess I'm sensitive, emotions running deep, with all this madness;
Most nights I can’t sleep.
I have a son almost the same age; 
I guess you...

I was sitting in my chair
As the rain was pouring down
I heard a creepy breath
And then I saw this evil clown

He had big black eyes
And a very scary grin
I could tell just from the look of him
That he was full of sin

I tried to scream...

What’s life’s punishment most severe
That oft fills these old eyes with tear?
While fathers wonder
At rest six feet under
Their children’s future is not clear...

For whatever I care
I am your worst night mare
Twist your dreams
To hear your screams
Pour misery down on you
Head first and feet too
Drop on you like acid rain
Excited to see you suffer horrible pain
I will burn your flesh
Kill every wish
At sunrise crush your bone
And mash them...

There you were

I held you in my hands

You were my gift

After nine months of care

I wished for you hopes and dreams to come true

You were my dream come true

I guess my prayers weren’t listened to

But someone took you away from me much too soon

I said...

The doorbell rang.
He looked at the clock through blurry eyes.
4:29 A.M.
Who could be here so early in the morning?
He turned to his wife fast asleep next to him.
Slowly he slid out of bed, so he would not wake her.
Crept down the stairs and to the...

any superstitious peasants 
out there tonight
TV junkies gossipy groupies
smooth talking saxophonists
am I talking too fast
for couple's therapy
uh oh here comes
another scar on my head
the optimist would say
the scar of opportunity
fortunately digression is an art
that never plays for keeps
you don't want to become
the unwitting tool

Don't be charmed when placing a child
And check if the little one's riled
This is an alarm
Since some serious harm
Comes from nannies known to go wild...

and the folks all around thought him sporty.

But to his dismay;

he heard his date say,

“Will you look at that thing, it’s a shorty.”

Every child has that thing that haunts them,
It is found under the bed or in the darkest part of their closet,
It is the malevolent and vindictive Boogeyman.

Its presence is felt throughout the night,
The children don’t know how to fight it,
It drives them insane and to...

I'm a rebel with a cause
A thug with dreams
A degenerate with aspirations
A bottomfeeder that shoots for the stars
I'm an outcast That refuses to be exiled
I'm a criminal with a great plan
Don't need to know my name
Just know I am
One of many America's Worst Nightmare...
