A Moon Beam For Open Link...

I tried to pick
A moon beam
From the rug
Where it lay
Slipped right
Through my fingers
Went on its merry way

I thought of fairies
Star dust
About children
Who have an octopus
For a pet
Rainbows
And wishes

I clapped my hands for Tinkerbell
I searched for the rainbow
I gathered stardust in buckets
I cried for the children
Then with only love
And a little magic
I caught a moonbeam

Beneath My Bed...

lurks some unknown
It still is there
Although I'm grown.

From sound sleep
I will wake
If I reach the edge
My life's at stake

I know it's crazy
But it's also real
There no controlling
How I feel.

Boogeyman
Unknown fear
Waits all night
For parts to appear

If  I jump
Not wide enough
I run the chance
Of getting snuffed.

Boogeymen and scores unseen
Wait beneath my bed
"They like the tender ones,"
My sister always said.
