Spooked Poems - Poems about Spooked

As a child at night, tucked up into bed counting sheep would never work for me counting only up to three then drifting from my head An imagination Big enough self-sabotaging dread a shadowed figurine with glowing eyes instead whistling gusts of wind the creepy creaking shed What if something hungry lurked outside looking to be fed...

The skull was sitting about sixteen feet away. I was afraid Leticia might not see it today. I motioned past her, in...

We were four tough teens and one day at school we were dared To spend a night in Hangman's Woods to prove we weren't scared, We'd set up camp for the night then heard loud wailing and a moan Sheer blind terror overcame us when we realised we weren't alone, We ran as fast as our legs could carry...

Full moon beams a foreboding light hanging in a twilit sky; shadows of cobalt soon blackened loom, as witches stir their cauldron brews. A distant howl in the night; skeletal fingers click so light. The graveyard stirs in amorphous view. 10-12-2020 Halloween Fright Poetry Contest Carolyn Devonshire...

Who is knocking on my empty stump on this cold and dreary night? I glanced at my friend, but she was snoring away, her usual evening sight. I went to the door with my loaded acorn, ready to shoot me some bear. But believe it or not, no one was around, not a soul even there....

Spooked Driving along on my scooter seeing the familiar landscape there was a time disturbance the landscape was the same but the trees small and there were fewer ploughed fields. mystical shadows and a murmur of voices sounded as an echo and I felt spooked.
