Spot

Survival of the fittest – 
Practically, trying my best…
Owning an applaud for future successes in excess – a failure I don’t detest
Terribly trying to pass this difficult test…apparently, I don’t give a ****! You’re a pet peeve, but grieve not – you’re a little pest in one spot and I’ll leave you with all the rest…rooted to the spot suddenly…embarrassed abruptly…

A sliver moonlight 
icon’s silhouette 
rooted to the spot 
sitar sensei pop
art venue dye stamped

wistful sly grin 
masks grey tinged beard 
svengali imp 
of fretboard glee

awestruck throng’s
dry cough whinge
stage plank creak

taut nails
skydive 

strings

Premium Member I'Ve Gotta Hand It To Pa

A severed hand drips scarlet blood as it waves its last goodbye It rises up, falling with a thud I’m just terrified, I cannot deny It starts to creep across the floor to where I’m rooted to the spot My Pa makes gory props, his job I abhor but spooky horror films I love a lot Something Spooky 8 to 16 lines Poetry Contest Checked with rhymezone Sponsored by Tania Kitchin 10/17/21

Last Night I Dreamt I Saw You

Last night I dreamt I saw you standing
in a field of blue wild flowers,
it's been decades since I've seen you,
but it only felt like hours.

You were smiling at me,
that crooked smile I love,
I tried to move toward you, but
my feet were stuck in mud.

I was rooted to the spot,
on the border of that field
and, though I longed to reach you,
the earth refused to yield.

Frustrated and panicking I
looked down at my feet,
and then you were gone and...
I guess I was asleep.

Possessed

It started with a Ouija board:
it seemed like harmless fun,
the messages at first benign -
it said it was a nun!
Obsessed, I spent more time with it
but scary stuff began:
I heard a laugh, saw shadows move
and knew it was a man.
The figure stepped towards me then
and rooted to the spot,
I felt it push inside my brain,
my body cold, but hot.
"And that was how I killed the girls."
The judge just shook his head.
"I swear I woke and saw the blood...
the prostitutes were dead..."
