Heartbroken

Halloween is taking over my pen...

Poor Frankenstein, he’s brokenhearted

his sweetheart suddenly has departed

She left him cold on Halloween,

causing quite a monstrous scene

 

The reasons for the split, she said ~

no romance stirred in his flat head;

those neck bolts were just so passé

and throaty grunts were all he’d say

 

He’d thought that things were going great,

brought hemlock bouquets every date,

ripped open each and every door,

thought olive skin had rare allure

 

She said it all was not enough

no apology for her rebuff,

it mattered not how much he tried,

like Zombie hearts, their love had died

 

Now she set her standards higher,

trained her sights on that vampire

suave and charming in the night ~

they must turn in by morning light.

 

So desperate, lonely Frankenstein

has no one for his Valentine;

a swamp of tears the creature’s cried,

‘Cause no one wants to be his bride

Monsters are such interesting people... ;)

they are...and there are many kinds..the scariest are those who are monsters inside...

this is deep although it appears to be just fun...and i love it.

had to chuckle early on though..i kept picturing elsa L..when she woke up and saw the monster in bride of frankenstein....and started screaming...and i can see why...i mean, she was a babe, with that hair and all...

fun ride here with a message.

Yep. No one is "made for each other" - it's work to keep love going, from both sides. I almost included a line about Frank taking her to "the tall wig store". That hair was a trip! Thank you, Jacob!

[Michael G. Smith]

A small look in into Franks life. Poor guys. He needs a woman custom built to his needs. I'm surprised the throaty grunts didn't turn her on?

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! Yes, some women like those throaty grunts. I'm sure he'll find his perfect mate soon! Thanks so much, Mike!
