On the night of his theatrical debut, the skeleton broke a leg.....

I told the monster staring at me from the end of my bed

Since I was a monster too so he did not fill me with fear and dread....

Time didn't like to fly

It got airsick...

Getting wet in the rain

Is something that I love

I think the silvery raindrops

Are kisses the angels send from above...

For MrMrsAng...

The Queen bee hated the pretty worker bee

'Cause she distracted the drones with her lovely knees...

The toad saw frogs being kissed by girls everyday and wondered why

 none of them ever seemed to want to kiss him....

The keeper guards our darkest fears

He's the only one who has the key

When we find the courage to face these fears

He unlocks the gate and sets them free...

The verb went to a bar for a night of drinking because he was very tense....

For barush ;)

When the fox wants to paint the town red

And hobnob with others on the street

He dons a top hat and a white cravat

And some matching socks on his feet....

Whenever I'm unable to sleep

I count the stars instead of counting sheep...

For swaylooza's illustration...

As soon as he was done

The mascara would run

Dream big dreams is the best thing to do.

You never know what life has in store for you...

A shadow follows me wherever I go

I think it's lost..

When the cloud was afraid of the darkness at night

He stayed close to a star so he'd get a little light...

The children stole the golden key

From a sleeping silvery moon

They unlocked the cage with the baby stars

And played with them all afternoon...

&n...

Whenever raindrops fall from the sky,

Somewhere, a sad little cloud has started to cry.....

He's looking at me

As I stare into space

I'm playing hard to get

I know he likes the chase

For sojushots' illustration :)

The bunny was tired of people asking him for chocolate eggs.

This Easter, he decided to wear a disguise...

I cycle down the street keeping my head really low

Staring at loving couples everywhere I go

The other seat on my bicycle is still empty

I haven't found anyon...

The cactus was so very befuddled

His arms were always open wide

But the balloon never wanted to cuddle

Even though Frederic was a country fox

His manners were simply divine

He ate his meat with a knife and fork

And paired it with an appropriate wine...

I wish I may

I wish I might

Have the wish I wish

From this star tonight

My wish is this

I wish that you

Have every wish yo...

Whenever he saw the cactus and balloon,

The porcupine thought about what he should do

He wondered if he should tell the balloon

That he was in love ...

When the monster grew too big to fit 'neath my bed,

He pushed out the skeletons and lived in my closet instead....

Like bubbles journeying through the sea

The octopus wanted to be free

He held on to four balloons

And gently floated to the moon

In the darkness, little beacons of flashing light illuminated her path....

My imaginary friend died last week

I'm being haunted by his ghost

Whenever a star twinkles in the sky,

Somewhere on earth a firefly will reply...

I'm not a ghost. I'm an unmade bed...

 The grape was unable to keep a secret....

a star tree grows

in the spot

where I had buried

a fallen star

Esmeralda spoke to the stars before she bid them adieu,

"You watch over me, I'll watch over you,

And we'll keep each other safe the whole night through."

&nbs...

The Invisible Man often wondered if he had a shadow

She saw the world with her heart

This morning, on my kitchen counter, I found a pair of cookie legs sticking out of a glass of milk. Three red gumdrops were close by.

I think my gingerbread man committed s...

Being identical was such a bitch

People could never tell which witch was which..

From the top of the cave he always slipped

But after wearing some sneaks, he got a better grip 

 The circle was square

Inspired by moonbug's tiny story :)

Much as the dragon enjoyed watching a beautiful sunrise, he was happiest whenever he witnessed a knightfall...

heehee ;D

Often, while I'm watching my favourite shows, my television stops working.

It's a serial killer!

;D

"Don't talk to me till I've had my coffee."

the little bookworm often found itself at a loss for words

For Jazminny's cute illustration

I'm playing hide-and-seek with my imaginary friend

Stars that streak through the sky at night

Are dancing with each other in the moonlight

The shadow wished to be a ghost

He had a really good plan

If queried about his unusual appearance

He'd say he got a great tan

As my parents danced to their favourite song

Their wrinkles vanished, the grey was gone

Radios are time-machines

More than the monsters under my bed, I fear the ones that dwell in my head...

I actually wrote this before I saw swaylooza's ...

We protect the future from the ghosts of the past...

There was a little star that didn't shine as brightly as the rest

"I'll wait until I'm older." he thought,  "Then I'll shine the best."

Life is but a groove...

For rewfoe's animation

The inky people wished to be indelible

Old Man Time wasn't allowed to visit the fountain of youth...

Death wanted a little songbird 

To sing for him day and night 

But whenever he went near 

The birds would drop dead in fright

 ...

Instead of hooting 'who' he said 'whom'

When it's time to say goodbye 

With the foxes I'll fly to the sky

Absence makes memories blossom

(My aunt passed away a couple of days ago. Relatives and friends have been sharing stories about her. I guess that  happens a l...

The comma was always in the middle of things 

Heehee ;)

The skeleton was often told that he was spineless

People were always rubbing him the wrong way

His tears were only visible when it rained

(For TheSerpentTheCharmer's illustration)

A balloon went on an adventure

Drifting away from the rest of the bunch

Oblivious that lurking above him 

Was a hungry cloud waiting for lunch

In a sky full of stars, I found the one for me

We love each other 

I feel so glad

Now you love another

I feel so bad

The nail was so tired of being hit on the head

Teehee ;D

When you're unhappy

I'll be your rainbow

We pretend to be who we wish we were

Walking on the beach, just you and me

Wishing on every starfish we see

For mirtle's illustration

We walk along the shore, hand in hand

Collecting starfish from the sand

mirtle's illustration is very inspiring :D

She was always in good spirits..

(For Consh's illustration)

All he really wanted, was a hug..

We wrote our own love story...

I had to clear out the old skeletons from my closet to make place for the new bodies

;D

Listening to sad songs makes me happy

In our secret hiding place, we'll keep each other safe

For mirtle's illustration..

The blanket dreamed of becoming a magic carpet...

The sheep were very wary of the wolf, he kept stealing their clothes...

;D

She imagined a universe to explore...

For featherpetal <3

"Someday, I too will fly that high" said the little balloon as he waved goodbye

Curiosity killed the cat, but everyone blamed the goat...

If the clouds continue to cry

I wonder when the Earth will dry...

You saw a ghost

I saw it too

We screamed in fright

When the ghost said, "BOO!"

This is for valeob's illustration "Ghosts", but ...

The chicken was actually very brave

;)

She coloured her hair fawn

He loved listening to her sing even though she was off key

My nightmares accompany me wherever I go

Mom always said if I kept making funny faces, one day it might get stuck....

Up above, so pristine, just observing it all

The floor envied the lofty ceiling

While the ceiling, yearning for a touch

Thought the floor's life was...

I planted different coloured jellybeans in my garden and grew a rainbow...

The ocean waved to the people on the shore. But sadly, no one waved back

He tried to understand what the artist wanted to say

Not realising that the painting had been taken away

I pretend I'm swirling in a whirlpool, being transported to another dimension...

every night, before she fell asleep

she counted the flowers in God's daisy chain

instead of counting sheep

The jagged puzzle piece felt like a misfit

her house is haunted by the ghosts of her memories and dreams

from his castle, he watched in vain

as the waves dissolved his kingdom, grain by grain

instead of a bottle, 

i sent a letter in a boat to you

hoping when it returned,

you would be in it too

The stress at work had changed him in so many ways

;)

For SnickerSnack's illustration

Snuggled here together, just you and me

There's nowhere else I'd rather be

The wall's best friend was a real brick

Heehee ;)

The lightbulb knew that change was inevitable...

Since the others found him strange 

He left the flock for good

Perhaps he wasn't meant to be understood

He didn't like birds. Their souls flew too high for him to reap

To the other sea dwellers he waved goodbye

Then following the moonbeams, he returned to the sky

To the rest of the world, the inky people were invisible

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall

As the King's men came to save the day,

Humpty hatched and flew away

she wondered if the Sun

could make wishes come true

after all, the Sun

was a star too

Whenever I entertain my thoughts, the voices in my head feel left out...

teehee  ;)

The problem with being the only employee at a haberdashery is that one has to wear many hats...

heehee ;D

if you're upset and need comforting

just find a little fish

it's lips will be puckered

waiting to give you a kiss

He wouldn't be seen dead in fur

I often panic when I get lost in thought

Every bubble he blew was a kiss for someone he knew

"I killed a balloon yesterday..."

;D

"Happy Birthday! I heard your friends threw you a surprise party."

"Yes, but they forgot to invite me..."

;)

People ran away from Russell

He thought they were so silly

He only breathed fire

When he was feeling chilly

The possum and mouse, an adventurous pair

Sailed the seas in their trusty pumpkin boat

'Neath the moon and stars, reading their map with care

And nibbling jus...

So many people are swallowed by the ground

I wonder if they are chewed on before being gulped down

Zombie men are so gracious, so very refined

Never offended when given a piece of your mind..

Heehee ;D

If you try to annoy a skeleton

You'll always see him grin

He never lets anything get under his skin....

Heehee :D

When the monsters from my nightmares make me weep,

The music embraces me and lulls me back to sleep....

In her secret hiding place

She didn't make a sound

But little did she realize

She'd never ever be found

Mary, Mary, quite contrary

In your garden, what did you sow?

I planted skeletons, so next year in Spring

I'll harvest the new life that grows....

...

Mary, Mary, quite contrary

How does your garden grow?

With ransom money, bloody knives

And skeletons all in a row...

A remix of...

In my nightmares, the two girls I see

Are the mistakes of my past embracing the future me....

When his spirit left his body

And they removed the crown from his head,

He bade farewell to his kingdom

And became a commoner in the land of the dead

as he sat quietly, he wondered why 

time always seemed to pass him by.....

Often, people forget that a skeleton's heart can be broken too....

"Since when did you start wearing striped glasses?"

"Pretty cool, eh? I look just like a zebra!"

"Huh?"

"Shh! The other zebras don't know I'm a bear!"

I looked under my bed for the monster

I looked in the closet too

In the darkness, a claw poked my shoulder

"Psst! You didn't look behind you.."

It made her feel like she was flying....

The skeleton never had to worry about a five o'clock shadow.....

Heehee! ;D

Last night the moon exploded and the sky was filled with a million stars.....

Whenever I see the Sun shine bright

I wonder where it goes at night

Does it go to sleep, or does it hide?

Is it the moon on it's other side?

 ...

She often drowned her sorrows in music.....

For urbanation's illustration :D

Take my hand. Let us walk this road together till the end....

Whenever I'm on the road, my memories sit silently in the back seat......

I'm standing at the crossroads

Between Heaven and Hell

Trying to hear your voice

Above the symphony of farewells

His heart fluttered in time with her eyelashes...

For urbanation  :D

You can't close this door you've opened

You're unaware that we are here

Watching you, touching you

And whispering softly in your ear

Today I saw a honey bee

Flying high up in the sky

You were on your way to heaven

So I stopped to wave goodbye

Embrace the voices in your head,

They sometimes like a cuddle before they go to bed....

;D

Mary had a little lamb

It's fleece was hard to swallow

And everywhere that Mary went

Few lambs dared to follow

I wish I was your cup of tea....

I've trapped you in my mind

I close my eyes to see your face

I'll read you the story of how we fell in love....

Stay with me

Until we are ghosts

memories of you

melt

like snowflakes

in my hand

"I'll do anything, go anywhere for you."

"Really? Anywhere?"

"Anywhere."

"Would you go to the moon for me?"

"In a heartbeat!"

"Great! ...

the littlest firework shot through the darkness

on it's way to the moon

it took one deep breath and lit up the sky

with a glorious boom

if you ever become a ghost

i'm happy to be haunted

forever

My autumn has arrived...

For TheSerpentTheCharmer's illustration

I've been out of my mind for so long,

I think I've forgotten the way back.....

Mary had a little lamb

But it was actually a small, white sheep

Mary never let it out of her sight,

Because she had stolen it from Little Bo Peep!

Georgie Porgie, pudding and pie

Kissed the girls and made them cry

But when he kissed a boy on the cheek

The boy hit Georgie and broke his teeth

An amended version of what my mum told me, after my dad's funeral...  <3

It was only when Bloody Mary saw herself in the mirror, that she realized she wasn't a vampire..

I missed you and it drove me crazy.

Next time, my aim will be perfect.....
