Monsters in my closet
appear in the middle of the night,
a monkey carrying a suitcase gives me a fright,
my red-laced gown starts dancing
all by itself as it is prancing
towards me with extended arms,
showing off its sophisticated charms,
shoes in the shoe bag jump out
as if catching bugs like a rainbow trout,
belts hanging on nails twist and turn,
making my tummy gurgle and churn,
boxes on the shelves fall off one-by-one,
crashing on the floor until they are done,
the light bulb in the closet flashes on and off,
goose bumps appear when I hear a cough,
I pray all this will end forevermore
while I run hysterically out the front door,
passing lightning bugs and a night owl,
I am ready to throw in the towel,
tripping over my clumsy feet,
something is covering me- - - -it's a twisted sheet,
I'm tightly hugging my floral pillow on the floor,
squeezing it so hard as if it can't breathe no more,
opening my eyes reality sinks in,
my roommate Poltergeist just gave me a spin.

I encourage comments on my poems.
HI,
I couldn't help but notice your poem... I have one about a monster in the closet too... My version is a lot darker... LOL However, I really liked what you wrote, and as I read it I wasn't quite sure how it was going to end... I think you did a great job on this!
Thank you Vanabba for your kind kind comment. Apparently, some of us do have monsters in our closet. ~ Sonia
