Starless Night

its about the murder of a young girl

A starless night,

a shocking fright

is what the girl felt in the room with the flickering light.

Her arms were tied to the back of a chair,

and leafs clung to her tangled hair.

 

Buzzing flies were being a pest;

her heart pounding in her chest.

A rotten smell was in the room;

she knew it was the smell of her doom.

 

She heard footsteps coming down the stairs.

on her arms stood her hairs.

he picked her up and threw her on the floor.

she slid and hit her head on the closet door.

 

I aplogize but I can say no more, but I will say what happend wasn't right. She died with fright on that black starless night.

Ashlyn, you have started your own version of a "safe" horror beginning to a great plot. I love the poem.... wishing it was going to turn into a story at any time!! I, almost, feel like you are telling me a ghost story around a campfire. I wish it was longer, too, but I think your adorable touch on getting at me with a horror genre kicks my butt. lol I Love it. That 3rd stanza I read about 6 times!! Beautiful Ashlyn. xoxo -Mark
