*****

A Beastly Ballerina

A beastly ballerina from Blair, Tried balancing herself on a chair; The chair it did tip, And losing her grip, She was found dangling by her hair. *****

The Clumsy Circus Bear

Cindy the clumsy circus bear, Rode a bike while balancing a flare; Her tutu got caught, Tying her up in a knot, And now shes a very bare bear. *****

Confetti
A ravenous clown named Confetti, Ate a tad bit too much spaghetti; He began to sprout, Strange hair all about, And now hes Confetti the yeti. *****

Two Freaky Friends

Two freaky friends from Fayette, Were quite a disturbing duet; Dressed up as clowns, They implanted in the grounds, An obnoxious girl named Annette.

*****

A Two Headed Monster

A two headed monster from Kalamazoo, With one head pink and the other blue; Squibbled and squabbled, And then it gobbled, A boy topped in Tiramisu. *****

The Talking Head

There once was a talkative head, Who was not, quite obviously, dead. It let out a cry, That riddled the shy, Then rolled over and fell off of the bed. *****

Dear Old Mama

Last night my dear old Mama sat upon my bed, She brushed my hair and kissed me, then a story she read. I thought it rather strange, a little scary too, Because my dear old Mama, has been dead since I was two. *****

Poor Kitty
Two deviously, devilish friends, Locked poor Kitty in a pen; Poor Kitty so starved, Escaped then she carved,

And devoured them both for dins. *****

Little Bo Creep
Little Bo Creep Stabbed her sheep, And hid them where no one could find them; Bleeding alone, They wont crawl home, Trailing their blood behind them. *****

Two Nasty Ninnies

Two nasty ninnies from New Haven, Tried caging an angry raven; It pecked out their eyes, And left them to die, Fulfilling its bloody cravin. *****

Jen
There once was a cruel girl named Jen, Who loved killing spiders with a grin. One night while sleeping, A spider came creeping, And in her mouth a fine web it did spin. *****

The Itsy Bitsy Spider

The itsy bitsy spider dropped down on grannys bed, Down from the ceiling where it hung above her head. It crawled up her nose and bit her till she bled, Then the itsy bitsy spider crawled out and left her dead. *****

Celeste
There once was a lady named Celeste, Who had quite a cockroach infest. She squashed and she sprayed, Then laid down and prayed, Only to awake to triple the guests. *****

Night Fest
Sometimes I wake up hungry in the middle of the night, and when I go to the kitchen I find a frightening sight. In my kitchen hanging out I find unwanted guests, each and every one of them are wearing brownish vests. Theyre dancing on the countertop theyre swimming in the sink, theyre eating all of my leftovers and finishing up my drink. Theyve invited all of their friends and family members too, to come and join the cockroach fest and be a part of the crew. *****

They
Every night after Mama tucks me in bed, my heart pounds with fear and Im filled with dread. Mama never sees them but theyre always there,

Im an avid reader, mother, grandmother, and proud member of the SCBWI. I have been writing for as far back as I can remember. I won a writing contest in the third grade of elementary school that included all third grade classes in the state of Indiana. I was awarded a book that was written and signed by the then governor of the state of Indiana, Escape from Corregidor, by Edgar D. Whitcomb, thus the beginning of my life-long love of writing. I am a graduate of the Institute of Childrens Literature. I have had several of my poems published on Underneath the Juniper Trees website and in their online magazine, as well as a short fun fact piece on Knowonder.com. I am currently working on an anthology of dark playful short stories for young adults, as well as a second collection of dark playful poetry.
