Bedtime Story When the moon rises you shall hear the skittering of claws being slowly drawn across the bare wood floor beneath your bed Watch out! Do not dangle your socked feet over the bed's edge Lest you feel the sharp prick of claws grasping clutching at your ankle Of course I now know that hideous monsters do not live beneath my bed But I also know that if I keep my legs covered away from the bed's edge the claws cannot grab me © 4/24/00 Gary Pence "A poet is someone who is astonished by everything." - anonymous |

This is great, Gary! I remember these very thoughts when I was a kid trying to go to sleep at night! Denise |

The one thing that scared me most as a kid was the dark!! Come to think of it, I'm still not keen on it! Thanks for this, it brought a smile to my face! Love and hugs, Lizzie  "Poetry is the true expression of my soul, it is my ultimate means of communication. It is my rainbow of delight." |

Great poem Jonas. Thank goodness I was never afraid of anything going to sleep. Guess I should consider myself lucky huh ?  [This message has been edited by Munda (edited 04-27-2000).] |

Very cute poem, Gary. I bet it's just a cute little kitten under your bed, but I still wouldn't look. ~Gene |
