Spooky

Predator Press

[LOBO]

A dark and addled thing of doom
whispers lies and gloats in gloom;
poised to strike so very soon
it haunts this place and chills my room!

"Leave me to my own devices:
I give no heed to such entices!
I will not fear what haunts my bed
-for you are only in my head!"


I feel it sniff under the door
-a gleeful, mocking predator-
"You do not fear what you don’t see?
Well, what about X-Rays? Hm? Or E-Coli? And how about radioactive isotopes? When is the last time you saw a radioactive isotope? Even a small exposure to radioactive isoptopes could really mess up your thyroid.”

Monsters hate poetry.

Phew! For a second there I thought you had sold out and gone commercial! Stores already have Halloween candy out!

Excuse me while I eat my candy corn.

Though I've heard that Frankenstein enjoyed the occasional haiku:

Bright and too shiny,
Villagers carry it on
High -- Fire bad! Fire bad!
