The boogie monster

Am I sleeping?
Am I dreaming!
Shivers down my spine ?
Imagination running wild.
Running out of time.
He is going to find me .
Why won't someone hide me?
Not tucked under the covers safe and sound.
In the corner.
The shaking daughter .
Why can't anyone see?
All the shadows.
lurking figures-the gallows!
Are my eyes open or shut.
If this is a dream ,
pinch me please!
Don't let him take me under ground.
Don't like the monsters that play.
Prefer the light if I may.
Don't like the nighttime ghost in my room.
It flew under my bed?!
Look is it dead!
Don't get my started on the closet.
May be simple NO!
It's plainly evil,
all the hidden lies inside.
I see the eyes
behind the blinds
can't take it anymore.
The boogie moster !
help he is here
Mummy daddy won't be surprised .
Please save me from my ultimate demise

This poem is very descriptive with good imagery. It also flows well with a good rhyme scheme as well. The only issue I had with this poem was this line, Shivers down my spin ?" I believe it is supposed to say spine and not spin. Other than that this is a suberb piece of poetry that I enjoyed reading. Keep it up. :)

Every childs worst nightmare is to face the Boogiemonster...A scary man, or ghoul, or thing, whatever he may be...
I built a booger figure when I was a child, I thought he would use it to add to his form and grow larger, and we would rule the world so long as I kept building his form....It did not work though...:/
Great write, the flow and the rhyme is perfect. Nicely done

Just had to see what this was about. The title does jump out at you. Hope your niece feels better after hearing this. We have all felt that scared of nothing but imagination at times, if only we could bottle it. :-)

Ah yes, every childs fear of going to bed and turning out the lights and running into this monster. I think I played checkers with him when I was nine,haha. You described him well in this piece, nicely done.

Reading this piece made me remember lyrics from enter sandman by metallica. "hush little baby don't say a word.Never mind that noise you heard.Its just the beast under your bed,in your closet in your head".

Very well written! I enjoyed reading.
