[hometext] => This is a poem I wrote in seventh grade and revised it slightly for this site. My teacher thought I copied it and refused to post it in the school newspaper.
[bodytext] => There’s no one here to comfort me alone in this big house And darkness closes in on me like a cat upon a mouse. The emptiness of all the rooms echo every sound And down the hall in the master room I hear a heartbeat pound. I sit alone all huddled up in an old and creaking chair Eyeing each corner of the room where shadows seem to stare. Then suddenly at the porch window a silhouette appears I scream in terror and cry for help as the apparition nears. Lightening strikes and thunder booms and the white french doors blow wide But I am rooted to the spot, I can not run and hide. So I close my eyes and pinch myself to wake from this bad dream And my crying out for deliverance is but a silent scream. Then as the clock in the hall strikes one I awake and the noises cease And now the house is only filled with strangely tranquil peace ………….but I am still afraid.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
