Scared

Boogeyman,
loup-garou,
zombie, and
vampire
in the back yard at night.

Sometimes wind is blowing
and I can hear wind chimes in the backyard.
Is it really the wind or something else?

Normal creaking sounds in house,
is it the boogeyman,
a cat,
or what?

Boogeyman,
loup-garou,
zombie, and
vampire
in the back yard at night.

Love it Marti! I particularly like the repetition of Bogeyman, Loup -garou etc...it's almost melodic...chorus-like...I think this piece would sit well with music applied also!...Great stuff!!...

Thank you Lynn, my dear friend. I am not the poet that you are.

Marti...in my opinion...we are each a poet...none better than the other...As with any art form...I feel that if a someone does a something that communicates with another...then that's a beauty in its own right..and can not be measured nor judged...so have more faith in yourself my friend...:) x
