Spooky Poems

Premium MemberThe Twilight Zone

There once was a man named Rod Serling,
Whose tales were quite frightening and sterling.
Across the airwaves, strange futures he brings,
He'd show you odd truths of all different things.

A woman who was quite a brat,
Was shrunken down and sat on a mat.
By the window, a strange shadow grew,
She'd lost her whole world in a flash and

Spooky Action At The Speed Of Light

I trusted order in the silent stars,
Each planet moving in its measured arc,
Laws written deep in heaven’s endless vault,
The clockwork firm, unbroken, without fault.

Yet here they whisper of a phantom thread,
Binding two particles though oceans spread,
A flicker here, and there the twin must turn,
No time to travel, nothing left to learn.

I call it “spooky,” though

spooky

Under the shower, the water was too hot
turned the cold water tap on
when a voice said, the water will be
colder and colder
when it is very cold, you will die
I'm putting soothing cream on my burned
shoulders and back

Metacarpals Phalanges and Sesamoids - Beauty Immortal

Metacarpals Phalanges and Sesamoids - Beauty Immortal

The hands, it's all about the hands for me
Streamline with creamy silk skin so fine
The elegance, the aesthetics, the peripheral view
The long slender phalanges, so ethereal
The disquiet beauty, the flowing artistically magnificent lines
So alluring it feels as though the hands can't be real.

Knowing deep inside my blackest of hearts
That

Premium MemberSpooky the Night

Spooky the night; 
Ghosts are even contrite
Continually drifting round the hound. 
Pumpkins have found 
A dark body to walk them around 
While monsters walk the streets. 
The pounding of the brisk wind beats. 
Frighten Cuckoo bird under a nightshade hood. 
Red eyes hover round the woods.
Bats fly round, waking the dead. 
Soil moves, while coffins

HALLOWEEN

As the darker days are approaching and it's nearly Halloween  I wrote this poem. . Also on my Instagram account daisymeadows2023.

HALLOWEEN
Lighting up the lanterns all around, 
Witches cackling by the cauldron, 
Can you hear that chilling sound?? 
Mixing up their mysterious potions, 
Menacing looks in their eyes, 
Don't be fooled by the witchcraft, 
Or

MONSTERS
Legends myths and old wives tales
From T.V film and book,
Are monsters real or fantasy
Let’s take a closer look.

Bram Stokers Dracula
The original vampire name,
Meant a simple walk just after dark
Was never the same again.

The late nineteenth century
When his legend came to be,
From a castle in Transylvania
Across many lands and sea.

A four hundred year old immortal
From his

Premium MemberSCAREDY CAT

Scaredy cat

Scaredy cat scaredy cat
She runs away inside,
Halloween is drawing near
And she only wants to hide.

To be a proper witches cat 
She really must aspire,
But she curls up just like a ball
All snuggled by the fire.

She never bares her pointed teeth
She never bites and gnaws,
She always keeps her coat real clean
And she manicures her claws.

If

Scary Mary

Scary Mary walks the streets she wanders through the park
She haunts the lanes and alleyways especially when it`s dark. 

She roams the primary school corridors by night and by day
She follows all the children she whispers come and play.

You’ll feel her cold breath on your neck her heart is filled with rage.
She`s reading every

The witches finger

When night time falls on Halloween if you`re near the woods don’t linger
For if you stand to long this night you`ll feel the Witches finger.

It`s long and crooked with a pointy nail its skin is rough and grey
It comes alive on Halloween night but dead and black by day.

She wakens up but once

Granny`s spooky house
My granny has a spooky house she has a spiders web
She keeps it in her room at night just above my bed.

I cannot take my eyes of it however hard I try
As it unwraps its prey from its shiny web and slowly eats a fly.

The spiders black and hairy with long and skinny

SAMHUINN
Wi samhuin fast approaching
When people start tae dread,
The gates of hell burst open
For the festival of the dead.

Bane shanks lifts his scythe
And scrieves his words in fire,
Welcome tae this earthly plane
Or be cast upon the pyre.

Brounies and banshees come tae life
Awakened from thir fankle,
Bogles bursting fae thir tombs
And the reaper dons his mantle.

Spooky Season

Beneath the moon's pale, haunting glow,  
The whispers of the night begin to flow.  
Jack-o'-lanterns grin with fiery cheer,  
As shadows stretch and dance, drawing near.  

Witches ride on broomsticks, swift and bold,  
Casting spells and tales of old.  
Ghosts in sheets drift through the trees,  
Carrying secrets
