Shadow
I’m awake
I look around
All I can see is a blurr
I try to speak
I make no sound
I feel my heart pound
I hear strange noises
All I can remember is a shadow
A shadow taking me somewhere
It all hits me
My brothers yelling at me
The dog barking
The breeze through my hair
The bell tower ringing
Ringing at midnight
The shadow
I search for it
I start to cry out
But no noise comes out
I hear something
I freeze
I look around trying to see who it was
“Hello Wendy”
The voice sent shivers down my back
As I start to run away
I see a stick coming my way
Lights out
Wow... I'm going to have nightmares (in a good way). That was super creepy. I thought that it was a really good poem. I wouldn't really change anything. It was a really awesome poem.
ReplyDeleteI really like your poems--you really can write with a subtle darkness that, like Skylar says, gives me the good creeps:) I'd go back through and add figurative language to add more imagery, depth and dimension to your writing. Well done!
