Scary Shit Poem by Danny Draper

Scary Shit



A white translucent poo
Rose from the bowl
Defying flush
And left no marks

A face turned
And it was there
Unexpected and shocking
They all jumped, despite cliche

A darkened room
Light flashes nova
Pupils dilate in mirror
poo stares into your soul

Body floats above
virgin bed, crucifix spins
Sepulchral gurgle inspired junk
Poo collides turbo blades

Now as mist ethereal poo
Specter of malevolent pee-ew
Seeks to displace theist dog turds,
Holy shit

The newly moved to old house
Residents say 'on-s'
Poo incensed flushes loos
Slams toilet doors and flickers lights

They hold calm and
In the mirror the words
In brown appear
'Skid Marks'

They know he was
The original owner
Lay preacher a
Holy crapper

He died alone
Without cleaning
The water closet,
No one gave a shit

The smell streaked
Down stairs and
Screamed an other
Worldly fart

They raced to toilet
And scrubbed the bowl,
Air cleared and pine fragrance
Brought serenity

They placed a plaque
To commemorate Skid Marks
And all was peaceful save for
Unexplained rust on the driveway.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This is an obvious attempt at a low brow satire against cliched scary movies that are boring and never anything new. I have tried to encompass many elements and poo cliches to emphasize the passé nature of this very tired and worth retiring genre.

Thank you for this interesting write, I wonder if you have tried to imagine the faces of the readers with this. A good laugh can't help thinking of the driveway. We had one on ours once but it wasn't pooh!
