Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Scary Poetry

Sometimes I pen a poem with

The hoped intent that it might scare

A reader of truth and not myth

That I believe the need to share.

Pretend monsters, we get enough,

Vampire, zombie, werewolf or ghost.

But there be really scary stuff.

Real bad in humans scares the most.

The evil acts that humans do

To other humans out of hate,

So very scary and so true,

And need be to communicate.

I am satisfied when and if

My poem scares a reader stiff.
