A dark shadow jumps
Green eyes blink gently at me...
My heart stops racing

Scare

why is your face
white like snow?
why are your eyes
dark like a hole?
why is your smile
weird and croocked?
why do you scare me 
so?

Why Does Thy Beauty Scare Me So

Why does thy beauty scare me so 
That sliding yonder makes me feel as though
Above a hill I see last summer's sun
Fall to the sea and sink then deep below?

Too feeble to scare

a weak, tiring roar~
the same one that once shook the jungles...
now too feeble to scare.
Its strength fades to past glory...
as death lingers close to claim.

Boo Did I Scare You

you jump as I bump
on my face  is a lump
this is not a dream
its not ice cream
or anything in between
its holloween
thing people do make you blue
BOO DID I SCARE YOU

The Haunting of Hill House

Is a place born bad?
Can evil seep in cement,
fear grow then wilt within vine?

Something with no name
weighs in rooms dark, light finite.
Doors lock. Windows look, knowing.

Monster Scare

Frank N. Stein began to whine,
  He has been accused of awful crime,
     Scaring little kids in their bed,
Setting off metal detectors with his head,
     He just might need a redesign.

Bacon Scare

A shortage of bacon reserves
Has Willie, pork lover, in nerves
Willie says drat
Without pig fat
I just might lose all my curves

(based on the fake news “Bacon Reserve Shortage in the USA”)

Fog of Midnight

Foggy air dims midnight vision, my eyes beg to see beyond the tip of my nose— where night daunts. My glasses fogged by chilly wind, holding back my steps, darkness deepens my nightmare— fog chills scare.

A scare

A scare lounged deep within the hall,
As shadows danced along the wall.
A piercing ray cut through the night,
Yet filled the air with chilling fright.
A whisper stripped the place so bare,
But left a deeper dread to share.

The Brown Bear
The brown bear doesn’t like his territory to share If you happened to wander in you would err If you shouted at him, he would not easily scare But promptly dine on you without a care

Scared to death

As shadows laid where none could go, The dark sky etched fear in a scrawl, Making hearts to leap out of sight, Silhouettes of danger scared all, A cooly breeze whispered the fright, Meanwhile, death crept closer too slow.

Premium Member Sorry, Did I Scare You

SORRY, DID I SCARE YOU?

It came at me out of the dark
Just as I was leaving the park
He bit me but he didn't bark
He must have come from Noah's ark
His features were extremely stark 
Although his bite left not a mark
I won't stay in the park past dark

Scare Crow

Scare crow
Cold shivering down my spine I digress
In oblivion of misleading
Soothing I caress
My dreaming

Petrified stupefied I suppress
As it led my going
I became a numb horse
Enchanting

Death, You Don'T Scare Me!

I don't fear you
I know your lurking
all around me.
Trying to catch
me weakened and
in despair. You 
don't scare me.
I knew when
I was born, dying
would come next.
I challenge you
daily for I am
not scared of living
eternal life. I'm not
scared of you!

Scare Or Dare

Scare like I dare 

You look like dancing candles 
Which never gets off  

Carkers wisles  to show the  kisses 
of all shades in the taste of popcorn  

Happy happiest i dare like scare to
 feel your heart beat which i miss ...


With love all

Premium Member ghost story to scare you tonight

She had a reputation for being one you did not want to see in your dreams.
Death had been fast and furious, her soul was apparently frayed at the seams.
The ghost stories the young told made our hair curl and our knees quake.
If you want to hear them, find the hag. She will make your teeth shake.

A Scare Comes Back

I have never been the same, 
after watching, the abandoned

moon, rising gracefully, 
and becoming secular. There 

were no words, no speech;
but a biological war had

started between the shadows, 
like gondolas in the air.

You unexpectedly turn blue.
Somebody had left the bloody footprints.

An Unlikely Scare

If 'tis a fright, you so desire
Then I shall give thee words most dire
It's of a group that's filled with ire
Towards the common thrift-shop buyer
For what these shoppers do admire
Is lower cost, and not these higher
Prices that plague the attire
Of this group we deem a liar
Behold, the brand name clothing supplier!

Scare the snakes out

All rabbits chased out of their holes,
Snakes now make their burrows their own:
Their venom, their flight it controls.
All rabbits chased out of their holes.
How to scare out the snakes, their goals?
The snakes not worried, as they moan.
All rabbits chased out of their holes,
Snakes now make their burrows their homes.

Premium Member Gave Me a Scare

when i was young and five
i had a dream of the boogyman
of cyclops
one eye watching me
and dragons breathing fire
of little elves dancing
with fairies in tights
and pixies in flight
ghost and goblins
mermaids and jack the giant
spooks going bunp in the night
when i was young and five
these creatures really gave me a scare!

Lived the Scare Out of Me

Scared the life out of me
is a weird expression
what does the life leave
and is the me not my life
but anyways
what if there are other ways
charmed the life out of me kinda works
so does cried
most emotions that i have tried
lie the life out of me
has a darker side
but the transverse
makes me smile
Lived the scare out of me
