These are all quite terrible, I'll admit, but something about them strikes me at my core. Let me know what you think of these five poems.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Foggy Fields
Dense mist that never yields
Hiding black pits
Eternal death never quits
Stealing all who fall
Never to answer their call
Tumbling down 'til cold
Never touching bottom even when old
Don't fall down dark pits of sog
Hidden in fields of dank and chilly fog
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ocean waves
Break o'er the sharp rocks
Pound against looming cliffs
Disturbing deadly mermaids under merchant docks
Dragging down doomed skiffs
Singing sirens revel in the icy froth
Stealing away struggling sailors to the depths
They surrender to the freezing ocean-
Ocean waves
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Halloween Forest
Gray bare branch
Creaking, hooting, howling chorus
Even makes ghouls blanch
Don't walk in the forest night
Lest the demons of dark
Catch your lost soul of light
And hide the glow in empty bark
They laugh at the dimming, despairing soul
As it strains toward fading gray moonbeams
Finally death takes everlasting toll
Again in the Halloween Forest
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Haunted House of Light and Shadows
Creepy, creaky
Shadows linger in ev'ry corner
Bats hang from the ceiling
Black cats follow the bewitching white witch light
Silver moonbeams flow into ev'ry room, lighting rat eyes
Scurrying sounds of scritch scratch claws on floors
Ghouls shriek, ghosts scream, cats yowl and hiss
Witches brew in the basement
Run from this creepy, creaky Haunted House
Of Light and Shadows
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Haunting Melody
Walking along a stormy beach
Salty breeze slapping skin
A siren's song my ears beseech
Haunting melody sweet as sin
Waves pound against this gray rock
Upon which I stand forlorn
As so many did on this lonesme dock
Haunting melody on the wind borne
Gales try to knock me from my perch
But none can sway me 'cept that song
More resounding than any hymm of church
Haunting melody lingering in this cold heart long
I take a step forward toward the cry
Another, another step to the roaring sea
Coming from the depths where lonely mermaids lie
Haunting melody takes me

Well, that's it. Please comment and tell which one is your favorite and which is the creepiest. Thanks!;)
