A Monsters Bite

Just a little something for halloween.

     Good night,
     Sleep tight,
     Don't let the monsters bite.
     Watch your heart and watch your head as they fill up with fright.
     Hiding in your closet, right behind the door.
     You start to panic, you can't take anymore. 
     The darkness over-runs your mind.
     The light switch you just can't seem to find. 
     Monsters and demons under your bed.
     The darkness is really getting to your head. 
     You run in circles screaming for help.
     Nobody seems to care, or listen to your yelp. 
     Growling is coming from right under the floor.
     You start to panic you can't take it anymore. 
     Ghosts and goblins chasing you around. 
     Running to the door you start to pound. 
     Mice and spiders crawling through the wall.
     You're getting so scared you just may fall. 
     Running around, searching for that light. 
     Trying to take away all of your fright. 
     Flip the switch the light comes on.
     You look at the time, it's creeping up on dawn. 
     Letting out a breath you open up the door.
     Your minds your worst fear, almost couldn't take it any more.
     Good night,
     Sleep tight,
     Don't let the monsters bite. 
     Whatch your heart and watch your head as they fill up with fright.

A 28 line Goosebumps thriller! You just might give R.L. Stine, a run for his money, anyway, wonderful write, very humorous an nicely rounded off!

[Aurora Dawn]

Keep up the good work!

Well what a write this is for Halloween and a scary bedtime poem perhaps. I really like the creepiness of this poem. The details of each scare, like childhood scares... is so nicely done as you mention them. The rhyming seems so effortless, when I read this I hardly noticed the rhyming yet I knew it was there with the lines rhyming... that's how good the rhyming is. Very nice write, enjoyed this a lot. Love it and the title too.

Instead of demonds I think you mean demons. It's good...creepy, but good! :)

[Aurora Dawn]

Oh yeah! Sorry for the typo! Glad you like it!:)

[Phillitup]

Of course! I make grammatical errors all over the place.

[Aurora Dawn]

This may be the poem I enter in your contest :)

[Phillitup]

That would be great! Three people have entered and one was disqualified for having to many lines. By the way...if it's the holiday contest the most lines you can have is 25. If you enter this you'd have to make it a few lines shorter.

[Aurora Dawn]

Oh, I didn't know that! I'll shorten it up a bit :)

[Phillitup]

Great! It would be a great competitor poem!
