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!

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
Frightful creatures knocking doors
Tricking or treating

Distorted faces
Little monsters carrying bags
Eating sweet victims

and left the workshop in a big muss

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!

Praise for the Unknowable

In the middle of the mess, frightful loss:

wonder of wonders (!): quality of mercy

--- Mythologem of Mythologems ---

sudden succor reappears once again.

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.

Premium Member 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

Delusional

There once was a nutter quite frightful
Who spent so much time being spiteful
   When confronted with truth
   Completely debunking her sleuth
She barreled into delusions most delightful!

Premium Member 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"

Premium Member 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!
Form: Limerick

''Animalistic''

Keen sight,eyes aglow.Moving slight no one knows.Smell of fear,very near.Undeniably
clever.The skill,thrill of the frightful prey.Can't hide from the beast
outside.Gnawed,clawed,taste of food.

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

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.

Air's Spiritual Identifying

Of one, cloud-throned eternal
Untiringly what is
In breathing out, breathed by all.
Freely. Lifts freedom's urge.

Of the many, that whipped up
Now cold, ahead of this;
Storm-rode as drove, devilish.
Ran from! A frightful surge!

Premium Member fudge potato chips and biscuits and gravy

I eat a piece of fudge
it lands on my hips
great

I devour a potato chip
she travels to one of my tummy rolls
I see her happily settling down

I slurp down biscuits and gravy
Feel my butt get fluffy and puffy
starting to look frightful

Premium Member 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

Premium Member 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...

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!

Premium Member Zelda

I once knew a frightful witch named Zelda
She resented bitterly her Dada
   There was no denying
   No use even trying
All good looks went to Sis Esmeralda

Unfortunately no brew charm or spell
Could possibly make Zelda look swell ~
