Favorite Quote:
Float like a butterfly; sting like a bee
~ Muhammed Ali


Its half past midnight
Darkness creeps except for a sliver of moonlight
Walking through I see graves afar
Gazing up to find the first star

The air I breath is doomed by a horrible atmosphere
Isolation and death drags upon earths sphere
Choking, Grasping whatever it can get
Fooling, Tricking, making everyone forget

I proceed, sensing the air getting hazy
My mood drooping down into the doldrums, getting all the more lazy
'Click' 'Click' Stepping closer I look
Jumping back with a cry as the object shook

Hear the cry of the bloodthirst ghoul
To think myself a fool
For I'm the idiot who opened Pandora's Box
I courageously look the ghoul in the eyes to find I have mistaken it for a fox

Swiftley walking past
My eyes catch a creature just as fast
The height of a skyscraper with the windspan of eleven of my friend Evan
An angel fallen from Heaven

Creeping closer, Crawling closer
The demons face was one off a poster
Weeping, Wailing, Groaning while it slithered toward me
Wrapping its fingers around me like a rope as it gags me while I try to break free

Death drawn across my forehead as the mouth opens to the beast
I surrender myself as its feast
Gazing forwards I stare death in the eye, dreading nothing but doom
Shrieking, I awake to find myself sweaty, lying in my dim-lit room


The author's comments:
What inspired me to write this? Well I suppose I should start off with saying that this was an English assignment on Narratice poems. I couldn't think of anything to write about until right as I was drifting off to sleep I my dream headed off into a nightmare (not that I remember why I was having a nightmare). Quickly I opened my eyes and grabbed my notebook and was going to write a story about my dream, but instead I figured I could just write my poem instead.

I think everyone at some point or time in their life has had a freaky nightmare involving creatures of the dark. And if not, well then you have too of had a nightmare of some sortinvolving something that scared you. I want it to seem like the reader is actually in this nightmare.

My English teacher gave me an A.
