Meeting the Monsters : Halloween Poetry

written by Poet : EC


All things considered ghosts are nice
they come to check our ability to sustain shocks
that's all they do, except maybe kissing us
also they may try to play ball with our heads and hearts
however, all in a very friendly manner
ghosts are good at saying "booh", but some cry
those poor, unhappy ones are just wet sheets
they tumble down in puddles of misery
trailing the wet spot while wailing their agony
those ghosts want to sit in your lap like babies
maybe they try to suckle your breasts, milk or not

As to monsters, then they never use mirrors for fear
yes, for fear of themselves, for their two feet fangs or more
a mirror in your hand will turn them into pudding
the fangs will fall out their mouths with a rustle
the claws will shrivel into nothing on their hands
but they do keep their bad, infected breath so beware
if you meet a smelly, well-dressed Neanderthal look out
that may be the big, bad monster from your childhood
the one standing in the corner and just looking at you
the one who nearly killed you by not doing anything
that may be him, lurking, smelling and looking stupid
well, out you whip your mirror ...
