Debra DeVeney Poems

Hear his footsteps, for you, he comes.
Step, Step, Step, faster your heart drums.
His fingers screech along the wall,
through the front door, down the hall.
...

Grandpa, Grandpa
old and gray
You moan and groan
Then cuss and pray.
...

Sue Stillwater segregated
Seventy Settlers, squish
spreading Sepsis, swiftly.
...

Can you tell me, from a clue or two,
My monster is who?

Riddle me this and riddle me that!
...

Autumn, season referred to as fall
Unique having to names you can call
Transition between summer and winter weathers.
Unpack those scarfs and sweaters
...

Halloween is the time of year
that is wrapped around fear.
Vampires, werewolves, monsters.
ghost, goblins and other haunters.
...

There once was a girl who was thrifty,
and she went by the name of Christie.
Wasting wasn't logical,
making you prodigal.
...

Twas the night before Christmas
all through Santa's workshop.
All of the elves are busier
than a New York city cop.
...

Clouds of dreams from minds eye,

silver moonbeams arc the sky
...

Soul and heart, breaking like waves against rocks.
I've quietly plunged into vast darkness, black-hole
abyss since your abrupt, unseen departure.
...

Want your country music to have twang,
going back to the way country used to be sang.
Go back to a time that's really old school
the way most people thought wasn't to cool.
...

She's been fighting cancer
six long months
radiation and chemo treatments
shrunk one tumor
...

Mother's day was our day split in two,
with half for me and half for you.
First as a mom then as a daughter,
bringing a yellow rose in a vase of saltwater.
...

Swinging
forward and backward
pumping feet and legs
higher and higher
...

Heartbeats
Heavenly high
Howling honeys
Honoring, happily
...

She's cried many tears in her life
Happiness to sadness
Husband's death, unbearable strife
Driven her to madness
...

The Best Poem Of Debra DeVeney

Something Wicked This Way Comes

Hear his footsteps, for you, he comes.
Step, Step, Step, faster your heart drums.
His fingers screech along the wall,
through the front door, down the hall.

Frozen in place against your will,
your heart beats even faster still.
In your head a scream just hums.
Something wicked this way comes.

Louder are his steps as he gets near,
heart pounds harder with growing fear.
In your throat, screams are caught.
Wants you, came for you, you he sought.

Hear him breathing louder than before,
he's standing outside your bedroom door.
Tap, tap, tap, hear the tapping of his thumbs.
Something wicked this way comes.
