Noises creep all around

Footsteps crunch on fallen leaves

An owl beckons his call in the darkness

Whispers of a deep voice filters the air

 

Bare trees sends a prickling chill

Shadows lurk behind the stillness

Splendor of the woods has become eerie

A scream sounds from her own voice

 

The full moon hides itself

Movement moves closer

Gripping fear rises like the thick fog

 

Claws snag her dress

Wet tonuge licks her lips

Red eyes burn through the darkness

 

Panic overpowers her

Her face turns ghostly

Weak voice begs for mercy

 

Laughter echoes

costume falls to the ground

Boyfriend hugs her

 

Grilfriend gives a hard slap

And leaves him in the woods

 

A creature wanders in the distance

A very good tale in this poem. Girlfriend left fearless boyfriend for monster roaming near. I like the complete tale. A very good ending to a excellent poem.

[Poetic Beauty]

This is a very interesting piece that allows the mind to wander in different directions as it is being read.

Love it! Love the playfulness in this and the dark danger still lurking nearby. All might not be so well for them.

Fear is such a dreaded emotion that we all experience at some point in time. It numbs us and makes our actions sometimes foolish.I always thought it was a mind killer. Anyway this is great writing.
