Creepy Plastic Figures
A Cheryl’s Pals Collab
By Michelle R. King
What seems so creepy
Mannequins with painted grins
I feel as if I’m stared at
With their painted grins
Their poked with needles and pins
They might want to poke you back
Dead as a mummy
I know they are just dummies
Showing off their flat tummies
But they creep me out
The plastic stare that they give
Cross my heart and hope to live
Pals lines I used:
Lady Cheryl Death, Diane, Angel Love, and Sheila A.

LOST AND FOUND
By Barbara
A Cheryl’s Pals Collab
Lost within the darkness,
I find myself confused,
where day is night
and night is day,
within this place
where nothing seems right
as I aimlessly wander
through darkened passageways,
no end in sight,
a terrible fright.
In fact . . . .
the deeper I keep falling,
the darker it gets,
even though I hear
faint voices calling,
through the darkness
though I’ve lost my way
among mannequins with painted grins
with eyes that never seem to cry
lined up along the twisted paths
within the frightful scene
and grinning back at me.
And I try so hard
to get back on track,
to find my way back
within the dark,
I keep losing my way
again and again
and again,
not even knowing
where in fact to begin;
with nothing to say,
no words and no rhyme,
my eyes fixed upon
the darkness of night
and completely lost
in and out of time.
And as the dark
slowly fades away
into the Dawn
and the break of day,
I catch a glimpse
of the comforting light
that I sought so desperately
through the darkest
part of night.
So I follow the glimmerings
of the light that I see,
following one after the other
and not skipping a beat,
refusing to accept
such darkness and defeat.
And replaced
by something wonderful
and so very sublime,
my heart,
once lost,
is now homeward bound.
I should have known
it would be only
a matter of time.
