no relief in sight
war's red skies once blue and white...

How bright the moment would be

But why fill anyone with fright?
Take a chance:  Use it to soar

He hadn't slept a wink all night

nightmare central
old gooseberry in my dreams

It was in the middle of May, 
I saw a great sight,
A gnome in fright,
And then he ran away

we stride to be right 
without any fright

when wrongs become rights

She crawls into bed every night
Never a care, never a fright
But dreams must wait
She needs a mate
To get up and turn off the light!

she was afraid of the dark
she switched on a light
and much to her fright
she licked the face of a shark!

I heard a rustling in the night.
It gave me such a terrible fright.

Nope—just my silly cat, Fred!

I Can't Write

I can't write
Don’t be so uptight
I’m not that bright
Maybe it's the fright
That I can’t capture your sight
With the words I write

A Walk In the Darkness

A walk in the darkness
full of selfishness & acidness
Shadowy away from the light
a walk stalk of fright
a walk empty of life business

A stop along the swamp at night
Turn off motor shut out the light
A scary sound
From all around
The sound would make a Halloween fright

Downpour

The cloud's, throats of water
One against the other collide
Spitting out a torrent
On earth leaving a fright
And after,  a calmness wide
