Murdered

Oh, frightful word scribed at the end
The finger-painting mannequin
Composed a message to his love,
From ink he’d made of his own blood!

No Exit

Helen felt trapped in a maze
Her mind was in a fuzzy haze
A difficult condition
For her disposition
To escape from this frightful malaise

It Is Known As Round

It is known as round. 
Vast on many frightful scales.  
Balanced by nature.  
To conjugate one answer, 
Ever infinite as love.

They Come Out At Night

They come out at night
Frightful creatures knocking doors
Tricking or treating

Distorted faces
Little monsters carrying bags
Eating sweet victims

Nicholaus

A jolly old elf named Nicolaus
had all the elves in a frightful fuss
	he played with the toys
	for good girls and boys
and left the workshop in a big muss

Clean Up in Aisle Two



Through my little fingers I'd peek
When I was a kid I would freak
Watching wicked witch melt
Frightful fear I then felt
That I wouldn't bathe for a week!

To Mrs. Emma

Oh the weather 
outside's not frightful
So the fire is
Not delightful

But as long as
U love Chuck so...
Pray for snow,
Pray for snow,
Pray for snow.

Humor Is Frightful, But So Delightful

Charlie's cartoon characters were afraid
`Cause Caren wants humor in her crusade
Only one person submits
Caren careens and retrofits
Curiously all have it made in the shade

Who spent so much time being spiteful

Too Shy To Ask For a Date

George was too shy to ask Eve for a date
His frightful trembling just wouldn't abate
   So he made a recording
   Of an airliner boarding
Warning: "Last call for this Eve ~ Don't be late"

Limericks

The limerick form is so delightful;

   Precise, concise and very insightful

      But finding a way

         For what you would say

            In so few syllables can be frightful!

''Animalistic''

Keen sight,eyes aglow.Moving slight no one knows.Smell of fear,very near.Undeniably

Knights Frightful Night

As long as its right in line with the knights
hindsight of the plight during the frightful night
of the fight thats not justified
to the blinded divines cry for the swines wine
While writing a fine sign trying to be kind

Dark

Quatrain #67:
DARK


Depict the dark of dying light,
Attest that spark of jaded night;
Realise sad mark of frightful dread,
Keep cautious arc of feelings right.

Short Memory

Her memory is short
She will forget the frightful anger that made her
Growl and snort

Her mood won't last
She'll forget I disobeyed her
Quite fast

The moon
Will persuade her
Soon

Her memory is short
She'll forget I disobeyed her
Soon

Thy Will Be Done

Thy will be done

Thus some pray..
Jesus saw the apparent 
Separation of wills
And the raggedness of
This frightful belief..
A belief supporting
For eons of time
Life's sufferings..
The shift to One will
Resurrects who we 
Always have been...

Last Thanksgiving our vegan Aunt Marie
Served tofu turkey and beansprout green tea
The dinner was quite frightful
Yet we all cheered delightful!
This Thanksgiving it's Del Taco for me

Don'T Leave Me!

Don't be stupid
Stay alive, don't die
Stay with me
Please do not leave me
all alone in this frightful world!
I hate being alone!

Don't leave 
Please don't go

But I can
I always can 
and I feel like it now
So you can just leave me
and let me die now!

Limerick Writer's Lament

The limerick form is delightful,

     Precise, concise and insightful!

          But finding a way

                For what you would say

                      In only five lines can be frightful!

Speak of Sword

Armor pierced
And flesh cut
All men make war
And wounds heal shut
Yet scars are memories
Of times past
Cheerful and frightful stories told
Though no scars always last
But the truth
Words are weapons
Words are cursed
Most battles won by sword
But started by words

The Rhyming Word

The word

She said

Rhymed with

Rust..

Seemingly 

Frightful

And not said..

With coffee

This morning

The rhyming

Word stands

Not separate 

From silence..

Silence expresses

Terror and

Wonder and

Paradoxically

A feeling of

Peace...
