Unsedated

Unsedated

A Poem by Eddie Davis
"

Just a silly poem about common and not-so-common fears.

"

Unsedated 


Here I lie (though unsedated),

While things scary unabated,

flow through the cobwebs in my head,

filling all my thoughts with dread,

 

Creepy things that make no sense,

When thought about, they make me tense,

Psychopaths that stay awake,

Brain eating amoebas in Arkansas lakes,

 

A madman with an axe to grind,

All drugged up out of his mind,

Walking into a school today,

Blowing all the kids away,

 

Terrorists, aboard a plane,

Or at the controls of  a train,

Sending poison in the mail,

Or watching runners on a trail,

 

Sinkholes eating up our cars,

Aliens coming from the stars,

Slowly losing all my hair,

Or the dreaded Obamacare,

 

Bedbugs in my hotel room,

Creature from the Black Lagoon,

Werewolves howling at the moon,

Vampire slipping from his tomb,

  

Zombies chewing on my arm,

Midnight sounding smoke alarm,

Loved ones dying in a crash,

Robbers stealing all my cash,

 

So here I lie - though not asleep,

While through my mind these thoughts do creep,

So by the time the sun arose,

I barely have begun to dose.

Eddie, you surprised me with this one. You always give intelligent reviews and philosophical insights I had always thought of you as a serious person with academic humor. My, my. I'm glad to be wrong. Your poem made me chuckle and your thoughts were understandably hilarious. :)

Anyway, you both do well in novels and poems. I look forward to reading more of your works. ;)

This is humorous, Eddie. Now, I know some terrible things occupy your mind before you go to sleep. LOL
You're clever to incorporate all of those things about Science, facts and fiction/fantasy with exceptional rhyme scheme.
Great!

You're welcome.
Witty poem with concrete rhyme throughout. Though the poem has some humor, the words still exhale how twisted many parts of life have come to be. I enjoyed.

Thanks for reading it.
By the way, the 'Brain eating amoeba" part is REAL, believe it or not. It happened in 2013 in a lake in central Arkansas and has so freaked out my wife and I that I don't think we will ever go into a lake again. Google it if you think I'm lying...
