Horror Lullaby ( number two)

A chapter in the book 2024 Gypsy's Free Verse

The Boogieman

by Gypsy Blue Rose


Presentation and Poem by Gypsy Blue Rose (c) copyright @11/19/24

little baby go to sleep

or the ‘Boogieman’ 

will eat you up

 

'El Coco' lurks very close

inside your closet 

or behind the door

 

'Baba Yaga' watches you

with yellow eyes

outside your window

 

sleep little one, sleep now!

or ‘el Hombre del Saco’

will take you away

I wrote two lullabies today, number one is sweet, and number two is horror. In many countries, lullabies are scary. It's part of the culture and parents didn't think about the aftermath of their songs on little kids. I remember feeling sometimes scared or sad. But look at me, I survived! lol

Most horror lullabies are about some kind of boogie man that takes the kids away if they are not good and go to sleep quick.

England = the Boogeyman, boogie man, bogieman
Spain = El Hombre del Saco (sack man) or El Coco
Russia = Baba Yaga
more about boogeyman characters around the world

Thank you for reading and reviewing my poem.
