Funky Titles

I want some good poetry to go with the titles below. Some are funky, some normal. You pick your poison.

I want a lot of poems for this one. My first contest ended on Monday and, while the enteries were great, they were few. So give me some goodies; I'm having withdrawls.

Titles:
1. The Boogey Man is Waiting
2. The Streets of Dublin
3. Superman's Underpants
4. Blood of a Ruby
5. Living on the Edge
6. I Found it in My Underwear Drawer
7. I Fell for the Lies
8. Under a Blue Moon
9. Out of Sight, Out of My Mind
10. They Think I'm Crazy
11. Failing Humanity
12. Over the Neighbor's Fence
13. Through the Window
14. Into Spring
15. Zombies Ate My Brain

I don't care if the poem is dark, funny, serious or erotic (just don't get too raunchy). All I want is good poetry and for you to have fun writing it.

Rules: (They suck, but without them... Chaos)
1. NoNe oF tHis CrAp. I hAtE iT! If you stick your caps, you'll get DQ.
2. If you cuss, don't get out of hand.
3. Don't be rude or hateful. If I find your poem offensive at all, you'll know it. DQ.
4. No prewrites. I like fresh ideas.
5. Only enter up to 2 times.

Thats about it.

  • Final notes:
    Thank you all for entering, my lovely little monkeys... Yeah, I said it...
    I had some great entries and a lot more than I had expected, whitch rocks the proverbial butt. I have done two other contests with less than ten entries. This contest worked out great. I like how you all picked a title and ran with it. That led to some very different responses. Thanks again and look out for contests by the awesome, the wonderful,the incredible, the slightly arrogant Morrigan Trinity in the future.
