Pantoum The moon.
The moon just glimmers Upon the ground The water shimmers Without a sound
Upon the ground Autumn leaves fall Without a sound Everything is calm
Autumn leaves fall The wind whispers coldly Everything is calm And I feel free
The wind whispers coldly The water shimmers Everything is calm The moon just glimmers.
Limericks Killer bill.
There once was a killer named Bill. At night was when he liked to kill. But the question remains, Why at night must he slay? His reply was that day lost its thrill.
A dead heap. There once was a mortician named Heap. Who was driving at night without sleep. Then out came a deer, That hit him I fear. And now he lies six feet deep.
Haikus Night shadows.
Moon beams play darkly Shadows flicker on the ground Endless eerie soul

White falling on black Winter whispers to the moon Cold blankets the ground
Ode Ode to night. O black night you cloak me in darkness Your well defined shadows Allow me to move through you with the utmost stealth. Upon your arrival, my victims fall a slumber And when I arrive, Their sleep is everlasting. When you fall, the weak turn weary I am not weak. With you as my ally I thrive. Bloodstained sheets of my victims are many, The faces none of which I remember. You conceal their identities in velvet. We work as a team, you and I. Using your blackness to silently kill, As I give you the souls that will roam here forever.
Sonnet His True Love My bride you are so lovely here tonight. Your rotten bones shimmering in the night. Skin once so vibrant, crumbled into dust. The ring on your finger, covered in rust. You once were alive and now you are dead. Still you remain here lying on my bed. When I see your face, I still feel our love. They all seem to think you watch from above. But I know the truth. You’re still in my soul. Loving me, filling that big empty hole. They look upon me, and think I’m insane. But I will not let your death be in vain. When you open your eyes, they will all see. That after all these years, I’m NOT crazy.
Free verse Nightmare I wonder why is it so dark? I’m feeling trapped in my own head. No morning singing of the lark. There is something in my bed. If I could open up my eyes. I would move but I feel bound. I could see all this is lies. I scream but hear no sound. My vision’s growing dimmer. What is this horror that I feel? My fate is getting grimmer. I know none of this is real. I feel something growing near. I hear footsteps in the distance. I sense that it can smell my fear. I can offer no resistance.
Free verse Night barbeque Do you smell that aroma? That’s some finely cooked meat. Time to flip it over, Don’t want that to burn. You really are a lucky guy, Not many people get to do this. Are you comfortable sitting there? Are you starting to get hungry? Don’t move so much those ropes will chafe, You’ll burn your little wrist. You don’t want to ruin that meat. Careful now, your blood is dripping. Well look at that! The meat is done! I know that you’ve been waiting. And if you’re still hungry when your hand is gone, We can always grill the other one.
