The Perfect Murder is a scary poem about a man who kills a woman in her sleep. It was inspired by a Robert E Howard poem called “The Fear that Follows”.
The Perfect Murder
The killer stole through the moonlit yard
and came to a window sill;
As he slipped into the darkened house
The night was silent and still.
The curtains rustled upon the walls,
as they billowed and they shook,
And he thought he saw strange shadows fly
from each cranny and each nook.
The girl lay sleeping in her bed,
Slumbering safe at rest.
His arm drew back and came stabbing down
as the dagger pierced her chest.
No scream or cry escaped from her lips
and the front of her gown turned red.
Fear gripped his soul as he turned to flee
from the wide eyes of the dead.
Tapestries swayed on the ghostly walls
as if in a wind that blew;
He ran from the house, through the dark woods
and his terror grew and grew.
The trees reached down and with phantom hands,
their branches clutched his hair,
Footsteps echoed in the twisted woods,
But never a soul was there.
As shadows loomed from the forest depths,
He stumbled with bated breath,
Followed by whispers of shapes unseen
and the fearful stench of death.
He came at last to a winding stream
bordered by silver sands;
A faint mist rose from the river’s depths
and he knelt to wash his hands.
The water reflected his pale face.
Down his cheeks the tears did creep,
And before his eyes, a grinning skull
leered up at him from the deep.
With a gibbering scream, he rose and fled
to a clearing in the trees.
The branches formed, in the blood-red moon,
A noose swinging in the breeze.
He turned to the great red stars above,
But his fear would not abate.
From the knotted rope fell drops of blood
and at last he knew his fate.
Then he slowly walked down the only path
that was left for him to choose,
The trail that led to the gallows tree
and the grip of the hangman’s noose.
NICE ONE!!!!

TITLE: THE HAUNTED DOLL
I WOKE UP FROM THE WORST DREAM EVER! I felt as if someone was wat hing i looked around but no ome was there. I lay there thinking ” why the hell did they give my sister that doll?”
Every night i would wake up from the same nightmare. The doll would always creep up to my bed and kill me. Oh how i hate dolls! After a while i was able to go to sleep wen i awoke i sawthe figure of i doll run around the room. Im being silly i told myself. Days passed and everuthing was the same. Until one night me and my sister were fast asleep each time i blinkcked the doll got closer and closer the last time i blincked she was there in front of me with a bloody knife. She launched at me and i screamex with all my might my parents came running in my mom got the fighting doll and threw her into the fireplace we had in our bedroom. My mom ran to my sisters bed and what she found there was the bloody mutilated corpse of my sister her insides were all over her tiunge was cut her eyea were gone and her arms and legs were gone to. My mom cried and criend. But the nightnare was finally over. We moved out but we havent forgotten my sister. They say that you could still see my sister haunting that place so the house has been abondened for years.

What was worse was that she was in my school and tovtop it off she had the aame classes as me!i goy kicked out of my lunch table ao she could sit there mu boufriwnd dumped me to go qith her. She instantly became popular! She was more pretty rhen m
As my mom turned around to get something cecilia got a knofe and crept towards my mom. Boom i ran in and yelled ” mom did you see that! She tried to kill you!”
” brittney dont yell at me and stop lieing cecy wouldnt do something like that she is or huest and you are being rude! Your grounded now excuse us we are gojng ahopping.”
And with that they left shopping. I ran to my room and slammed thebdoor. I started crying i was losing my mom to her. That same night would be cecilias party next door that i wasnt invited to. Boom boom. Boom boom
I ran downstairs and opened the door it was a police officer.
” how may i help you?” i asked.
” i hate to inform you that your mother has died. Someone cut her arms and her legs and they put hrr in the car while she was alive and she crashed and was killed on impact”.
” nooo!!” i sobbed.
And with that the officer left.
I ran to brandys house anf thats when we got in a fight after she kicked me out i keft to my house. Hours later i knew the party started i got ready and was on my way once i got there i ran to my boyfriend hugged him and took him tp the bathroom with me. No one qould her pf him not more that was for sure. Eventually the house got lonley and the only one there was cecilia.
” hello cecilia”
” who invited you”
” you stole everything from me and i stole them back”
” what do you mean”
” i think i should also get my beauty back right” i gave her an evil smile.
” you killed everyone”
” i beat you didnt i”
” your a sick person get away from me!”
The last thing i heard her say was ” nooo!!”
That was the last of her.
