Nighttime is a good time to stay in bed.


Bed Time

By Flying John

Things with fangs come out to feed, when night's curtain ere doth fall.

Beastie things, with glowing eyes, that roar, and snarl and all.

Silence is the rule of night, 'cept snapping twigs and such. 

For darkness hides the claws of death, that rip and tear and clutch.

Yes, none but fools dare venture out, when the world turns dark and cold.

For those who do, shall never return, no matter how brave or bold.

So say your prayers and go to bed, it will save your life and soul.

For those who do, are safe from harm, and live on to grow graciously old.

Like this, am lonely at nights after death of Tom but try to sleep but am sleepless, but don't go out alone at night. Enjoyed this poem and advice. You are a different writer, but like your poem.

This is a great Halloween piece...as a matter of fact, I know a few kids that would be scared to death by it! Good thing--cause they need to stay in bed at bedtime! LOL!

I really enjoyed this one.

ooooh eerie write! Thank God I don't have nightmares...or rarely do. When I have in the past, my little JR Terrier Maggie gets cuddled half to death....poor thing!
Take care
