[hometext] => I wrote this poem about our childhood fears of the dark...How such a simple shadow is all our imagination needs to take flight. Enjoy!!!!
[bodytext] => Don’t be afraid little one Darkness comes blocking your eyesight Light is left along with the sun It’s now time to close your eyes and hear the creatures of the night The full moon cast a shadow on your wall Is that really a werewolf trying to get in How can you get your legs to move and not stall Are they going to tear you apart for some unknown sin The moon disappeared, did something evil swallow the moon Oh no a witch got in and is wearing your coat You hope morning comes soon You wish it would rain so it could make an alligator filled moat You decide you are an army man standing guard You won’t let anything in to disturb your sleep or your family’s Your eyes get sleepy and it feels like someone has filled your eyes with tar As you wake you know the night is nothing more then a tease Still you like to think you scared all the scary monsters away You can’t wait to tell mommy and daddy of your adventures You race down to tell your parents as you fly down the stairway Babbling at the mouth you tell them how you weren’t afraid of the creatures You just grabbed your gun with the cork in the nozzle and shot at them till they left They kiss you with pleasure of how you saved them from being devoured by such horrible things Full of self-pride you strut up the stairs and ready to start your day you know you can handle the nights [comments] => 1 [counter] => 183 [topic] => 43 [informant] => daydreamer [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )
