Short Menacingly Poems

my new brother
begins suckling our mother
I drop her sparkly vase
dad looks on menacingly. . .
a nurse brings me ice cream...

Once I saw an oddly grouchy grouch,
grousing away on an old couch,
gaping menacingly,
as I eat happily,
my juicy chicken soupy lunch....

Adrift in the cannon debris,
Her black flag grinned menacingly
With hull split in two,
Her captain and crew
Now sail on the floor of the sea.

Transcripts, Manuscripts,
Dog-eat-dog, cut-throat,
Get ahead or say
GOODBYE

To tomorrow
Who stares me down,
Menacingly it approaches.

Waste not, want not,
Waste brain, no gain,

No survival
Not cut out
To be breadwinner....

Tireless nights
Draped menacingly in
Blankets of black
While stars guide the way
And moons glisten softly
The aftershock of a feeling
Leads only to rocky roads
Lifted up by our hands
To hide those words
And walk away from that
Hope in skylines...

Icebergs in the Antarctic and Arctic are menacingly melting,
Mud slides, freezing Winters, summers are sweltering,
Oceans are encroaching, drowning Earth, 
Rainfalls severe across its girth and dearth,
End of humanity, a dire situation globally threatening....

Creeping footsteps of a malevolent clown
Laughing menacingly you know there around
Ominous, frightening, sinister, malicious
Willful and wicked attacking and vicious
Night terror dreams - you try stay awake
Seek you, they'll find you, make no mistake.

The flames of the fire of our love
may have abated and subsided
but its embers still menacingly glow
and from time to time it's re-ignited
searing through us like lava's hot flow
until by joy fulfilled and delighted
it flickers, returning, mellowing slow,
into its normal pedestrian groove....

The walls,
Surround him as,
He locks himself up,
In the suffocating chamber of nostalgia,
They draw nearer, as,
He frantically runs from corner to,
Corner.

Altering colors,
As they advance menacingly,
To converge about him,
Desolate yellow,
Cold blue,
Diabolical red,
Hopeless white....

mirrors are flawless til observed ~ yet beauty dwells in a broken shard 

yelled the beast stabbing it into his eyes ~ i’m beyond horribly scarred 

still he laughed quite menacingly ~ as his aqueous humour discharged

Riding back alone
Trees pass by menacingly
But my hands hold no wheel
I’m not even looking ahead of me
More interested in what’s to the right
These strangers know me better than you do
And we’ve never even spoken beyond awkward peeks
You said you’d never let me down though you already have
And now, I’m riding back alone because I don’t need you beside me...

Blame it on warm beer
at the stoplight.

My cerebrum throbs,
hodgepodge of noises:
windshield wiper's whirring whine,
depressing drone of tired traffic,
primeval beat of hip-hop sound;

the most jolting thing
in my line of vision:
a strapping traffic officer, his pen
and clipboard menacingly poised
to render judgment on me.

Blame it on warm beer
at the stoplight!...

He can be menacingly persuasive
As he shakes the stone walls of the room
With maniacal screams about your impending doom


He can be reassuringly convincing
As he croons about the very few chosen
Like him destined long before birth to be in heaven


His faith seems infrangible as iron
But it is also iron cold, ironically iron dead
Rusting away with blind bigotry swelling his head !

Red Black and Blue

Don’t put your arms around me

Displaying phony comfort

Trying to convince me that everything’s going to be alright

Houdini, I’ve seen this trick before

And I know the way this story ends

Busted bloody lips, swollen black eyes & a variety of blue bruises

That stands out menacingly

For everyone to see

Not the gentleness of I love you

It ends in red, black and blue...

In half-sleep one night
a spider came in my sight,
crawling out of the clock,
I got a shuddering shock
as I felt it crept on my face 
in a menacingly slow pace.

Feeling the spider’s bite
I got up shaken in fright, 
looked in the mirror at me,
the spider could not see,
but saw on my face instead
a spider web had spread.

Let me hold your heart,
And taste of it,
Let me scream you to sleep,
Let me drift menacingly,
Into your dreams,
Let me be your everything,
I'll whisper hateful things,
Deep into your mind,
I'll take away the peace,
You've hoped so long,
To find,
Let me caress your cheek,
And watch it bleed,
I am nothing,
Everything,
I am who you see,
More or less,
A misery,
Good company,
Your disease,
I am pure insanity....

Dressed up toes to head
from the curtain view of my backyard
to the scattered clothing at my bed.

Your sweet embrace lurks, out to get me.

Snakes crawling up from the dirt,
they stretch menacingly towards me, holding on until it hurts.

Your leathery fingers stroke me, always closer to home
stabbing daggers into my fleshy palms.

Sweet Oleander,
down turned smiles, bleeding hearts;
We adorn your handsome arms....

Dare to stand and embrace the fierce,
remember exactly who you are;
Always a woman filled with fire;
Gorgeous gem forged in a blitzkrieg,
opulent and so menacingly articulate;
Natural deviant, raise your head up!

Bring your strength own your power 
recoil and then strike, harder;
Eloquently waltzing with pandemonium 
allows for a bit of civilized rest;
Toxic surrounds and tries to take,
heal in the flames of dragon’s breath....

If someone told me to vacuum the living room.
I might cry.
Even if it’s just the ghost who I like to talk to.
Helping in his ghostly way.
I might move to the woods.
Just the trees, and wolves.
Wolves are just people who wanted to retire, but are too young.
Blinking menacingly and it’s fun.
Howling in a bored way.
We stay away from human things.
The last chore I ever did…
Cleaning the sink, maybe…
Procrastination is-
Us howling all night long....

Lone Bailey was a tree hugger since the age of three
Resilient limpet, he clung on ferociously
Now labelled and rejected as a permanent pest
Bailey went his own sweet way avoiding all the rest
His favourite haunts were abandoned places and trees
Scrambling barefoot up them or on his hands and knees
To carving his initials in perpetuity
He beheld grotesque images no-one else could see

Menacingly taunting him to COME HERE AND HUG ME.

indeed, he can be menacingly persuasive,

    violently shaking the stone walls of the room

        with maniacal screams about your impending doom;



and, he can be so soothingly reassuring

    when he croons about the few who have been chosen

        like him, destined before birth to be in heaven;



but though his professed faith appears as solid

   and infrangible as iron, it is also iron cold, iron dead,

        rusting away with bigotry swelling his head !...

He hung way up high intently
Fear he delivers corruptly
Scarecrow lives only for the night
Absorbing any signs of light
Sending chills to all hatefully

Arms spreading along perfectly
Scarecrow looks down menacingly
Causing fear is his main delight
Demon scarecrow

There’s nothing peaceful seemingly
Evil comes straight through heedlessly
Fright comes to those who are in sight
Power of the scarecrow tonight
Tortures your hurt soul endlessly
Demon scarecrow
