Writers block...So I'll leave you with a poem
UUUGGGHHH....I have the dreaded writer's block. I'm stuck on the same page. I'll get past this, of course. But for now, I leave you with one the poems I recently wrote for one of my classes.
Steal it, or anything about it, and i will find you. :)
The Forest of Fear
By: ANGELA L. SIMMONS-MORGAN
December 7, 2014
The darkness starts to thicken, as tight as your chest
Being in the dark stirs a feeling of unrest
The icy breeze begins to whisper
You can hear it say your name
Calling you enticingly
“Come and play our game”
Tall shadows start to dance
They waltz amongst the night
Fathered by the yellow glow
Cast by the full moon’s light
The quickening of your heartbeat,
The pounding of its sound
Gives these things their rhythm
To dance above the ground
Your skin begins to crawl
Feels like a million tiny spiders
Your breath begins to shorten
Your chest keeps getting tighter
As the blood runs from you face
And drains down to your feet
You’re starting to feel colder
Shivering, in defeat
Your head is feeling light
Like a feather in the wind
But your body’s feeling heavy
And your gut is caving in
This forest is alive
And it wants you for its own
To make your fear befall you
It’s muddy grave is your new home
