Long Scared stiff Poems

I've never been here before 
Why is it so dark? 
This place is unfamiliar, 
So cold and unforgiving, 
I can hear wide open spaces 
And feel something close to me. 

There's got to be a...

Crushing snowberry bushes on a hillside,
Droops down, discarding fallen blossom petals,
magnificent sand dunes soaked in pure water,
countryside nature soothes with the sweetness of honeyed melody,
And down to the beat.

A stream that appears as blue beads,
Draws...

‘Twas the night before Christmas with peace all around
Reindeers were sleeping there wasn’t a sound
When all of a sudden a shriek could be heard
Rudolph was cursing, with shocking swear words

Dear Rudolph was always the perfect...

In the ancient city of York 
My friends and I have been for a walk
Studying a little Viking history 
Instead of returning to the car
We decided to visit a bar 
That's when a nice American...

The Well

The Watcher watches all the watchers, for the Watcher knows
That what the watchers are watching, is something to behold.

But what are they watching? The Watcher can’t tell.
For it appears to be only a plain...

Nothing new...
In the eye of the storm,
But watch closely... 
As the elements swarm;
Final judgment...
In the eyes that hold,
Calling on Death for duty,
As the warning bells toll...

Shrieking through damaged alleys...
Ringing what’s left of living ears,
Further driving...

there are those times in our lives
when we are the most afraid
a symptom of brain activity
that tears our nerves to shreds
in those times of misery
when the future is in doubt
we try to find some peace...

A Monster Calls

A monster calls,
But I do not respond.
The frightening voice enthralls,
But I feel as though forewarned.
Down the ages and across the hours,
The fiend has shown emboldened powers. 
A shadowy presence stalks within,
Bringing with it...

Between a castle and a moat
One small goat
Strays too far, too long
But nothing happens
Yet scared stiff, the goat is scared stiff
To see this beast, this terrible monster
The medieval lands have made him out to be
What...

THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT

Often times things go bump in the night
We shake and tremble, filled with fright
Tiptoeing softly in search of the sound
Nerves on edge making our heart pound

Suddenly in the parlor,...

If I weren’t afraid I’d have embarked once again
on the journey I had since long abandoned in chagrin,
on life’s pathway crowded by hostile strangers,
and held their hands, walked the empathy together.

On my uphill climb of...

We were strapped in ready for take-off,
the engines churning all around us.
We'd longed for this moment,
but when it came we were scared stiff,
wondering if we'd survive.

"Countdown to take-off!" the captain roared.
Gritting our teeth we made...

His scarlet head droops
towards his soulless emerald chest.
Perched upon a fruitless branch,
his spiritless eyes stare 
at the emptiness of freedom.

Above, streaks of ruby hints
flow among coral flamingo shades,
as golden streaks swim through
crystallised kaleidoscopic skies -
but...

The day is dying
The half-moon is faltering
In its nocturnal crawl
Across the gloomy sky

As the sleepy village goes to bed
Under the inky dark African sky
Stragglers are home-bound with trepidation
From another day of disillusionment

 Lonely drunks lost...

Corruption the putrid core
Of the crop that cripples
Trust that create crucial hold  
Between ruler and the ruled

Greedily troubled equivocal thoughts of the cruel mankind
Equipped with massive power over naturally resourced terra firma
Die many times...

Blissfully sneaked into zeros,
the mind was playing zero sum games,
permutations and combinations whirled in maze,
calculating gain was tough,
scared stiff of the loss,
mind began seeing loss,
where it was to gain,
it was so over worked,
that it did...
