Poem What I Really Find Frightening
The most monstrous thing about the monsters?
Their absence; The darkness offers nothing
But empty promise where no zombie stirs.
There would be company in the Walking
Dead hordes, while vampires need no long hard look
In the mirror’s reflection. Depression, not Death
Wields the scythe blade, and no Cthulhu shook
This madness into my mind where each breath
keeps me facing true horror. Halloween
Mask hiding terror behind its façade
So much fun if Dracula could be seen
Knowing I’m to blame makes it really hard
Werewolves make us die. Living makes us cry
I’m scared enough. Monsters need not apply

Gee, what a good poet you are. I used to write poems but I was not really good at it so I abandoned the pen and just eat... whatever. Waheehee.

A poem can be something to be scared of as well.

Ey up that is a really good one our kid.
I love Dracula films as they make me laugh "The Tractate Middoth" is very scary indeed.
Again a thumbs up for this one.
