Spooky Scary Poems
In honor of Halloween, write a spooky poem! It can be as dark or as lighthearted as you like; use your imagination!
car keys for the criminally insane
i‘ve got road signs of my own, you know
but you didn’t heed the warnings
until the car keys were already in my hands
and now there’s danger on the freeway
my eyes don’t know the colour red anymore
so i just go
faster, faster now
sound the siren, we’re crashing now
i’ve never been this close to Death before
so what if i say hello, wave with all ten bloody fingers?
a few inches to the left and i‘ll kiss the oncoming cars
i’ve always been a sucker for spontaneity
so let’s spontaneously combust
in flames the colour of the stop signs i ignored
on the way to Nowhere
