Short Chiller Poems

This limerick could be quite a chiller;
as a movie would be a nice thriller.
Who set fire to the wheat? 
Leaving stubble and heat -
I hope they catch the cereal killer....

zamafolia 
rooting in the wine chiller
trying to re-grow

that which now seems dead
pothos ivy njoy too
for xtra measure

come back mama bird
please, let's grow and learn and share
like we use to do...

What signals for Autumn
Its death knell?
This last felled leaf, sad as slow
It may tell.

Whilst not yet conceded
Led up out
Old lamped park's chiller diffused
Mists, surreal
City-stept, more lone, for it
Winter feel....

Lungs puffed in cigar, drunk lousy liver
With beer he cheered, dancing in the river   
A chiller he was, in all states of matter
Here lies in grave, the cool Charlie Charter.

Lindsey, Lindsey, Lady Spy
Are you ready for the next thriller?
Can you pin down this horse fly?
Lindsey, Lindsey, princess chiller
Found no clues, no motives,no reason why
Lindsey, Lindsey, community pillar
But you're the reason that we die,
Lindsey, Lindsey, perp driller
Have you been sleeping with a killer?...

Like her folks
She smokes
Rough shirts 
On Jean skirts 
Though a chiller
She looks a killer
Her mushroom-cat
Is half-eaten by a rat
No mosquito hurts her 
In her presence I'm in stir
Why this sadness on her face?
Did she fail in any competition race?
Do not be worried, O, my strong little girl.
Don’t leaves and flowers in winter wind furl?

He’d spent nearly a decade on death row
Praying for appeals that were not bestowed
     Had a solid alibi
     One the courts would just not buy
A death sentence he’d have to undergo
 
DNA exam proved him no killer
But there’s a sad angle to this thriller
     Tests performed posthumously
     Executioners agree
Evidence came too late; what a chiller!

As they peacefully slept
And then began to dream
Into their dreams he crept
And slowly extinguished their breath

He was the dream merchant of death
Causing insomnia all over
Making many afraid to sleep
Lest he enter under their covers

He was the invisible killer
Who put the chill in chiller 
So don't sleep tight,  let the bed bugs bite
Or you may get a fatal fright
As the dream merchant bids you..... good night

Felix was angry I could not blame the cat for that
                   Mr.Schrödinger should have opted for a bowler hat
                                    His experiment was a chiller
                                    Prussic acid was  a sly killer
                     Felix could not endure the cheekiest quantum rat
