The Frightful Unknown
I'm going toward the frightful unknown carrying the flaming torch of hope, it's a challenge never taken before: I've made a new promise often broken! Where can a disheartened person find courage... when, in this age, most portray the wrong image? Many have reached their goal through ugly deceit, but the honest one struggles to put up the fight! I encourage you...

Premium Member A Frightful Buffet
Miss Muffet was a girl of thirteen, filled with youth's beauty and charm; And a love of vibrant life zealous, like eager, vivid thunder of blue alarm. She was a fine student, pert and popular; like the primrose popularity; Or stars appearing at the designated hour, sparkling like crystal clarity. Mary Muffet lived in a small town, with loving...

A Frightful Thing, a Thing Indeed
I laid me head, a-bed in haste. I dream a place was left to waste. A sign of life, no, not a trace. This build and hall have fell from grace. Dust; the bust roof withered away, Pieces like torn veil hung, decayed. This place I knew but all in vain; But a dim, lit room, I surveyed. I knew it well, this...

Premium Member One Spooky Frightful Night
There is only one spooky, creepy, frightful night Where vampires and werewolves are welcome, all right. Naturally I am talking about the greatest holiday, Halloween. Where mystical magical mummies and skeletons can be seen. It is spooky, dreadful, mesmerizing and creepy too. Do you have anyone to go trick-or-treating with you? The child stared as his grandmother’s face turned...

Real Normality
Tis’ was a frightful night, For all set sail on the ship Delight. All men both heavy and frail Took pleasure as the only detail. Tis’ was a frightful night, For all set sail on the ship Delight. For they’ve not known the storm to be, The clouds mighty, and strong the sea. For all the sun’s light was swallowed up, The overcast...

The Weather Outside Is Frightful
The Weather Outside is Frightful Christmas in Miami is a difficult sell When the outside temp is hotter than Hell St. Nick tries his best in the humid air But soon sweats right through his underwear Partridges tend to avoid palm trees And geese hardly ever lay by warm seas Mocking birds ignore their instinct to tease And French hens never appear in...

That Frightful Day - 911
THAT FRIGHTFUL DAY It was a Tuesday, The world was told. Terror filled the skies, Murder cold and bold. Americans are secure, Our world is safe, we said. We work in total comfort, Rest securely in our bed. September is a lovely month, Along the Eastern shore. With turning leaves and autumn breeze, Shouting peace forevermore. The eleventh day began the same, Warm winds and shining sun. Our dreams were...

What a Frightful Flight
If I'm able to reach to the drifting sky, I'd die literally... I'd lack oxygen and my heart would thump like a drum If I reach too high in the drifting, dusky sky, I'd fall - I can't see the flowers of plenty below my spoiled, crusty feet My worn-out feet What a frightful flight, I Know, Right? Forever... My dream...

More Than Weather, Can Be Frightful Or Unseasonal Christmas
Used to be the weather was frightful People covered themselves from head to toe Now, despite the fact it’s Christmas season I see more sand, than I see snow The temperatures keep on elevating To the moon, they just seem to rise Oh, where is the Christmas of yesterday The rosy cheeks, windows fogged with ice It’s just too warm now for Christmas Too...

Storms that frighten the heart Come in many varieties The swift, windblown storm Is fast and furious Very painful at first But later finding relief There’s the lightning storm Comes in quick as flash Damages a lot of area And pain continues on after The long hard storm Is still yet another It might slowly come in But once there Pounds with solid force Excruciating pain all over All during and...
