Theres A Monster In My Bedroom Mummy.. Poem by David Darbyshire
Theres A Monster In My Bedroom Mummy..
Theres a monster in my bedroom mummy,
with horrid big red eyes,
and daddy dont believe me,
he says im telling lies,
I know you've never seen him,
he hides when you come in,
but all my friends have seen him,
and they're all scared off him.
' go to sleep now darling,
you'll see monsters if you peep,
I'll be back up in a minute
to see if you're asleep'
as mummy reached the landing,
she heard a mighty roar,
her daughters mutilated body,
lay bleeding on the floor...
by Maria aged 13...A good friend of mine
Scared the living daylights out of me, Maria. What a wonderful little poet you are. Sleep well, my lovely. Love, Fran xx
AAGGGHHH! ! What a shocker! Right up until the last few lines, I was thinking...oh...what a nice children's poem. Not! It has great shock value though.
I'm with Vincey on this one. Full respect to Maria. I'm giving her 10. Gina.
Devishly dark twist at the end of the poem, I like the way it starts of as a possible Humorous childs poem, before throwing you into a Dark surreal image of a murdered girl. There is also something about 'peter cried wolf' going on here. send my compliments to Maria Vincent
