Freddy Krueger

A passing lyric

Red and green stripes 

Badly burned skin

dirty brown hat 

life full of sin

the kids stay awake

as long as they can 

to try to escape 

the burnt boogie man 

but when the coffee wears off 

and they're dead on their feet 

they slowly drift off 

to wake in elm street 

all feeling is lost 

of love and of hope 

as they enter the house 

where the kids all jump rope

They walk slowly in 

to the abandoned, old home 

stunned by the bang 

the door closes on its own 

and now they are trapped 

inside this bad dream

they must survive somehow 

as hard as it may seem

this isn't real 

this isn't fair

their peaceful dream

is now a nightmare

but now it's time,

time to get ready

booby traps for dummies 

to fight against Freddy 

they are all split up 

and left on their own 

the boilers heating up 

"Freddy's home"

-KK

    A good write as a poem KK. I read the actor who played Freddy had his own nightmares. I'm not surprised, after playing such a horrid role. Evil influences rubbed off on him. I can't dilute the word 'evil' here for anything lighter.

      Thank you so much!
      I agree sometimes life imitates art
