Dream Evil Dream

I found myself hiding under my bed,         
scary monster’s infiltrated my head.

Shadowy figures dance about my room,
eerie voices whisper of impending doom.

Under my bed I lay silent and still,
faceless entities move in for the kill.

My blood runs cold my skin chalk
white, I avert my eyes and shut

them tight.

Never open the door that has no handle,
never enter a room without a candle.

Speak not, if not spoken to. Seek not, 
and not follow through.

 

See the moon laying low in the sky  
kindred spirit's that refuse to die.

 

Wake to early sweat covers your head

wake to late you're already dead.

Eerie hon!

I really like this poem, and it's sort of difficult to describe exactly why! It's as elusive as the dream itself is, but completely easy to relate to--who hasn't woken up dread sweat from a nightmare? It's an abstract portrayal of something all too real, and you've captured it perfectly.

Grief, this makes the spine tingle and the hands to tremble .. your words have re-created the night monster .. and the way you finish is the mighty slam of that door without a handle - botled and barred .. death, final, life over. This is one scary nightmare, written so well it really gets to the reader.

Technically: fine meter and a neat placing of phrasing to build up the atmosphere, ' Speak not, if not spoken to. Seek not, and not follow through.'
No screams, no calls for help .. oh my.

Wow, you create beautiful, yet haunting, imagery with this poem that makes me have a calm, yet macabre feeling.

[Cassiopia Summers]

Your words create incredible imagery. I pictured the whole thing, and felt as if I was the one hiding under my bed. (: Great job.
