Mister Doom Puppet

We all love a poem about a puppet. What about a nasty scary puppet? Worth a read hopefully to some. Reviews would be great.

He hangs off rotting strings

Covered in filth and drowned in nightmarish things

Oh you should see him grin.

He comes out to play as soon as daylight dies

You don’t want to hear him sing.

He makes all the children cry

When he visits them with little stings.

 

He’s made of fur and bone,

The devil’s stink.

Driven by spirits, so far from home.

If you choose to watch he’ll wink.

Hangs off the walls and off the beds

Wherever the flies lay their eggs,

He’ll watch you sleep and possibly play dead

 

His hollow body reeks of death

In the dark of day in the corner he’ll wallow

At night when you walk he’ll follow.

Don’t look behind you for it may be your last breath.

Don’t feel scared, frightened or mentally impaired,

Because you can always try to hide under your bed.

He’s the doom puppet and your family friend.

Overall I liked it, the whole other side is fun and scary to write about because the further you wonder into the darkness the more you conjure up many evil sound things. I wrote a short story called Substance which judging by this you may like.
Very good evil clown face.

This is a little funny...
well because I'm a little disturbed myself.
very creative and an overall great read.

Very creepy and creative! I liked how you penned and described this. You told a good, understandable story about the puppet. I'm not a huge fan of puppets and it was difficult to watch the Goosebumps episodes with this doll and the other one, though I do love horror and a good scary movie every now and the . Just certain things I can't handle sometimes, but overall, I love the scare genre and can handle it most better than most people I know.

Nice. I saw a Goosebumps when I was little and have been creaped out by puppets ever since, and muppets more so! The line "He's made of fur and bone" made me question if it was a puppet you're talking about, but otherwise I plan to not scroll up again in fear the puppet will wink at me. Keep writing!
