[hometext] => ...simple minds have all but destroyed the essential Truth of Frankenstein...so, too, the Boogey-man...
[bodytext] => Boogey-man Boogey-man, you chuckle... ...you best be aware, dare you not smile, or snicker, take care, lest there come the day the past from which you flee wraps itself about your heart, immobilizes your soul, paralyzes your spirit, obliterates your sun, thrusting terror, deep, deep, deep, in, about, and through, all that is you. Boogey-man, you chuckle... …aw, beware… rko December 22, 2005 ...the Boogey-man represents such a significant psychological entity that I feel it is worth the risk of adding what I hope will be a brief addendum…the Boogey-man is a childhood terror…whether in the closet, the basement, the attic, or under the bed, children throughout the ages have allowed the Boogey-man to keep them in bed, avoid the basement, the attic, the closet…those fears were allowed to determine their childhood paths…our attachment years experience [pre-natal to 3 years of age] pretty much spells out how we view the world around us and how we are going to interact in that world…for those of you with an acceptable degree of mental illness, the attachment years experience has essentially produced a safe warmth of feeling somewhat equivalent to a doting grandpa's lap…for the rest of us, the attachment years experience has created a Boogey-man that scares the brown stuff out of us…our emotional development has frozen at various stages of early childhood…we talk like adults, look like adults, work at adult jobs, heck, we're allowed to drive cars, we must be adults, but we aren't…emotionally, we are children…frightened children controlled by the accumulation of those terrifying, agonizing, paralyzing attachment years experience…this Boogey-man destroys lives…this Boogey-man is no laughing matter…this psychological Boogey-man makes forty-nine year olds afraid to do things any healthy adult would have no problem doing...he causes fifty-four year olds to see danger where no healthy adult would see danger...affected adults deal with life as if they were frightened children, because, that is what they are...[...and we're the majority down here, so be careful what you say...a little comic relief...] [comments] => 5 [counter] => 204 [topic] => 21 [informant] => enigma [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 26 [ratings] => 9 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
