WRITING OBSTACLE

Submitted by j.byrd

Write a horror story in the style of a Dr. Seuss book.

Dear Ol’ Seuss

Though so brave

You dug your own grave

Not a second thought

You could have fought

Tested your life

On the blade of a knife

Dear ol’ Seuss

You forgot to make me seduce




{Been a while since I wrote a poem but I tried!}...

The Man in the Van

The man in the van

Drives as quietly as he can

Watching children play

On a warm summer day


The children play happily

Bouncing along

With their red rubber balls

And singing a song


Oh this, this is bliss!

The children smile

But someone is watching

All the while


The man in the van

With his mustache and glasses

Watches the children

All bunched in their masses


Looking for one, alone in the crowd

On...

The Grinny Grave Mansion

In a crooked old house that looks like a face,

Whispers and secrets slither through space.


The mirrors are watching. The floorboards can moan.

The candles go out, when you are alone.


You can hear laughter, though no one is near.

The house loves feeding off of your fear.


Portraits will smile, but their eyes stay the same.

When you walk past, they’ll whisper your name.


If you shall ...

Star Crossed

Twinkle twinkle little star

And now I know where you are


Up above the sky so bright

Then you vanished in the night


Blood drips on the murder site

Blood that is still true starlight


Twinkle twinkle little star

You could never get that far…...

one fish, two fish


One fish, two fish,

Green fish, blue fish.

One fish caught the next fish,

Next fish was a no fish—

Oh no fish!

Where have you gone, fish?


One fish—

Green fish, red fish.

Red fish was a blue fish,

Slithering under the dark water…

Hiding… waiting… watching.


Bubbles pop like whispers,

Shadows twist and creep,

The water moves on its own,

The fish… do not sleep.


One fish, two fish,

Eyes in the dee...

Leatherface

This man's face was not leather but thin skin from the face of the human race.


He cranks up his chainsaw to slice some jaws, to make blood drip from the walls.


But not Stretch, shes too pretty.


Its a shame that his brothers don't pity her like a little kitty.


Why do people invade his house?


He doesn't know, but he knows he won't let them go.

Red

I see Red

So do you

What is Red

Red flows through


Flows through the body

A cut makes it spill

Don’t spill to much

To much spill will kill


Red on the walls

Red on the floor

Red on the ceiling

Is that Red in the drawer


What if that Red wanted to go

How can you stop an unstoppable flow

Why is it Red, what does Red mean

Does this Red really want to be freed


Maybe it does

Would it hurt if that’s...

Fubu Boys

At school was the fubu boys

Their shirts sparked a lot of noise


One was real and one was fake

Classmates laughed and talked with hate


You could imagine what they must’ve have felt

To see their confidence and happiness melt


In that school it’s hard to just be

Because when kids see something fake that’s all they see


One was declared fake and the other real

Imagine the one wearing the fake mu...
