I have decided to make a second volume of DARK POETRY to kind of keep these poems in an easy to access format. I enjoy rereading over them and I feel that they are worth sharing from time to time. I have titled the second volume SCARES because it deals mainly with topics like monsters and influences that get our hearts racing. My favorites in this volume are Boogeyman and Hyde and Seek. I hope that anyone who reads these writes enjoys them.
