Monsters Poems - Poems about Monsters

When we were young there were heroes and there were monsters and in our innocent and limited childhood view… from Fairy Tales and with our parents help it was easy to tell the difference between the two. In the evening when we woke from a nightmare and our hearts were filled with dread…. our heroes were our parents who vanquished...

Toe shack Put another log On the near burnt out fire They tell me to charge more Then tell me they did the job for a song and a story I've heard before The Government is prohibiting the bites that is never chewed Useless you write your story Validation goes miscued Let us fight any way we can afford Don't think...

The Real Monsters We are afraid of fire breathing dragons and scaly lizards. Things that go bump in the night. Shadow creatures who live under our beds and in our closets. Yeti and Big Foot. Pale ghosts and poltergeists. Chupacabra’s and vampires. Blood red demons with pitchforks and horns. Imaginary monsters that can do us no real harm. Why do we fear them. What we...

Looking through the broken cracks in the mirror. Scared of what I seen. The reflection in the mirror, couldn't have been me. As I try to recognize, who could it be? I stare deeply into the mirror a little more. It was staring back at me. It was someone I once seen before. It stared with eyes that showed fear. As I...

## The Feast They gather in the shadowed corners of my mind, A ravenous horde, their forms undefined. Not flesh and bone, but whispers sharp and cold, They gnaw at peace, and stories left untold. Doubt, the gaunt hound, with eyes that never blink, He sniffs at joy, and leaves a bitter stink. Anxiety, the spider, spins her silken snare, Trapping my breath,...

it's that time of year when people temporarily cloak their monsters in a half foot of dirty snow when people give to strangers half-ignoring their own but their children still glow like Christmas bulbs under a thin frost... They'll not know about the big lie until an 8th grade dropout sleighs Santa clause. it's that time of year when black ice will merrily...

On a rope woven from ancestral nightmares and the greed of shadow monsters, I step with bare feet, while my thoughts dance chaotically in a penumbra, Between dream and reality, between sky and earth, between here and beyond myself, I float suspended in the cold air, and the city below reveals its posthumous secrets. They always whispered not to...

Practicing how to breathe, when there's a shortness of breath.A slow rhythm in the background calms me down, when a void tried to look into me.I was up alone yet again while the demons of the night visited me. Has it been a year now since sleep has become paralysing.I dared something much deeper within...

KRAMPUS CHRISTMAS All hope is lost for children If their festive spirit dies, The Christmas magic disappears As they look through older eyes. No more milk and cookies Or a sign for Santa`s sleigh, Or carrots for the reindeer To eat on Christmas day. Don’t give up believing Don’t let the doubters win, Always believe in Christmas Don’t let Krampus in. The lost spirit of Christmas The...

I forgot my meds last night. I fell asleep without turning off the light. Meds sitting on the counter. As I lie in bed, I flounder. My brain knows what it's missing. I start to hear hissing. A little growl too. A monster that is blue. I forgot my meds for three nights now… I don’t even...

The corner video store With the neon lights, Was the place to be On Friday nights ... Only black VHS tapes In clear, plastic cases, Lined the 'HORROR' sections Of my favorite places From left to right ... Up and down the walls, There were bloody fangs ... And killer dolls Aliens and dinosaurs Monsters on the prowl, Giant sharks terrorize Wild, werewolves howl Next to white masked men Hungry...

Laying in my cozy bed And drifting off to dreams, A sudden panic fills my head: What if this isn't as it seems? What if while I'm tucked in, Slipping into sleep, Giant monsters and their kin Through the darkness creep? I draw my hand back to me, deep into my sheet, Scared that if I leave it free Something monstrous it'll meet! It's not like this...

we are scratches on the surface somehow imprinting page to page degrading as we move frame by frame until we slump with the inky weight of filling in the detail of ourselves ...

Believe it or not, their ubiquitous webs Are everywhere; they are the dictators Who kidnap, maim, torture and kill teachers, Poets, ordinary folks and babies in their cribs. They rob and ransack innocent citizens, Steal elections and after a lifetime in power, Categorically refuse to leave the tower. Very often, they do everything to muzzle the chickens. Monsters are constantly in disguise, They are...
