(last one for today...sorry so many at one time, some times they just come in a flow!)

What slumbers beneathe your bed,
little crawlies waiting to grab you by the head?
What things leave foul stentch of the dead,
lurking silently beneathe your bed?
What skeletal hand hide the closet key
peeking out the keyhole with red eye, to see?
What devils dance
on your bed, dancing thier frantic Dance of the Dead?


 There is an alter ego which
dwells in every soul...

That's what your bedcovers are for...to protect you from the under-the-bed monsters.  Bedcovers work like magical armor...but beware that you don't kick them off in your sleep...

I enjoyed this one.  It reminded me of my old chilhood superstitions.

 I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.
