shhh don't make a sound

nightmare

shhh don't make a sound

don't call for help

don't try to run

 

I'll hold you here

keep you cold

through your dreams

I'll never leave

 

You will see my face

each and every night

my large toothed grin

my glaring eyes

 

shhh don't make a sound

I'm staying right here

I'm never going to leave

A little creepy, yes...but I sense the darkness of emotion, which makes me happy. I was a bit thrown off by the extremely large font, I think it may have come across better on the eyes to use something slightly smaller. Overall, nicely done.

It causes a sense of awareness and chilling feeling to respond when reading this. Almost as if you have to check over your shoulder, to make sure nobody really is watching you. Very short, but very powerful. Nice work.

Yours truly, Delaney

as someone who plans on majoring in criminology i know all too well that this type of poem can apply to a lot more people than you would think. I found it to be really powerful except the haunting last line "I'm never going to leave"
