The Monster

What kind of Adventure is this?: 
Poetry
A monster! A monster!
It is coming for me!
I can see at the end of the hall
As a storm breaks outside
I'm trapped up inside
And no one to hear my calls
 
It's moving! It's moving!
A few strides it takes
It shudders with deadly intent
With each step it makes
The floor seems to quake
I huddle deep into my bed
 
Much closer! Much closer!
I can now see its eyes
They are filled with a fiery glow
And its drooling mouth

Run!

What kind of Adventure is this?: 
Poetry

You'd better run!
You know that its true
For the monsters that hide
In your wardrobe at night
They are coming for you
Before the night's done!
You'd better run!

Yes, you'd better run!
It's not safe outside too
For the bounders all shout
That trouble's about
And it's all caused by you
They'd stop all your fun
You'd better run!
