Premium Member my worst nightmare
He sits in the attic all day, trimming his fur A creature without a name or a country Climbs into my closet an hour before bedtime I sense him, but cannot see him For he can be invisible when he wants to be I sense he has fangs, and claws He wants to hurt me Of this I am sure I am terrified,...

My Worst Nightmare David J Walker My worst nightmare is And he paused before The mistakes could escape His lips Frozen in a moments time The cast-iron statue Resisted the rust But could not trust His slips In a moments memory long past its prime My worst nightmare is Thus and such “The skilly use of words had not forsaken him” a boyish touch...

Premium Member Worst Nightmare Come True

Premium Member A Parade-Meisters Worst Nightmare
The trolls were smug because the bug they caught was Cheeky. King of the cockroaches, and exceedingly sneaky. They trussed him up and had a celebration parade. Marched him through Troll-ville and sold Lemonade. Before they reached the end, a child let out a scream. Cheeky’s chair was empty, a Parade-Meister’s worst dream! Cheeky was missing, gone, kaput, and no one...

Worst Nightmare
The doorbell rang. He looked at the clock through blurry eyes. 4:29 A.M. Who could be here so early in the morning? He turned to his wife fast asleep next to him. Slowly he slid out of bed, so he would not wake her. Crept down the stairs and to the door. Who at this ungodly hour?? Not one but TWO men stood...

Child's Worst Nightmare
Every child has that thing that haunts them, It is found under the bed or in the darkest part of their closet, It is the malevolent and vindictive Boogeyman. Its presence is felt throughout the night, The children don’t know how to fight it, It drives them insane and to the very brink of manic fright. They reach for the lights...

My Worst Nightmare
I guess I'm feeling some type of way. It’s the day after the next day. THE VERDICT; INDICTED! Definitely it rocked this country. I guess I'm sensitive, emotions running deep, with all this madness; Most nights I can’t sleep. I have a son almost the same age; I guess you can say I'm frightened for his well-being. As much as a...
