Black dragons
in my cornflakes
jump out of milk
and snap at me
demonized cereal
makes breakfast
like a horror picture show
scarring me
like a kid
puking like a drunk
I want to scream but can't
as nutritious corn
froms demonic head
and reaches for me
alarm rings
waking me for the day
skip breakfast
and run past
my posessed cereal box
but in the back of my mind
I know I can't skip breakfast forver
so one day
I know
I will have to eat my cornflakes.

Dan,

This is the most freakiest poem I have ever read. But its still cool.. Thanks for sharing.

I wish to become a great poet some day, but it will only come in time. Til then, I shall write my poems, and wait.

I can just picture a little kid not eating breakfast because of that, and when i think of an adult doing it, i just laugh!

Good write!

A dream is but a dream, you can wake up.  Reality is ultimate, and those who share it with us are far more important than anything we could remember,

Brad,

Is this a spin-off of my poem,
God, The Common Corn Flake? Or, do corn flakes really come with black demons in them?  No children in my house and grandsons eat Mini-Wheats.

Interesting.

This us a poem about avoiding things that you don't want to deal with and how they can get bigger the more you avoid them. I just threw my own personal spin on that premise

LMAO!! Oh my god this was good!! You didn't need to explain, I totally got it, but I am sure that is because I avoid everything unpleasant!!!  I loved this.
