halloween poems

[ChristopherSea]

put your funny halloween poetry in this thread.

This isn't funny, really, but it is the only Halloween poem i wrote and i don't foresee my writing another any time soon:

The Bogeyman

Your closet is my favorite place to stay -
it's snug and warm and I don't like the light.
When darkness comes I know you'll want to play
our little games. I think that I just might
scritch a dead monkey's paw across the door,
then slowly drag my nails along the wall
or maybe shamble-creak across the floor
so you can see my hunchback shadow crawl.

Do you remember Sarah from uptown;
don't waste your shaky whimper for the dead.
Hunkering next to her laundry mound
I sucked her chewy entrails through the bed.

But I'm still hungry for a little treat -
the tender lobes from your two dangling feet.

An effective and very 'real' childhood nightmare for me! I would literally leap out of bed, dreaming that my foot was being grabbed! Ghoulishly entertaining my friend.
