El Cucuy

Lore

By Kaylynn Marie ThomasPublished 6 years ago • 1 min read

as the so called legend goes

from the shadows el cucuy rose

at bedtime each mother would say

for bad children el Cucuy will take you away

but as the day draws along

bad actions being shown like nothing is wrong

day slowly draws to night

happy laughter slipping into fright

going to be d to get tucked in

in the shadows he waits to begin

sounds coming from the closet or bed?

gears turn the fright in my head

from the closet he creeps on out

I've been good.... they scream and shout

hooded creature, teeth ground down

creeping around with out a sound

dragged out of bed all rough too

el Cucuy will devour you
