Nightmare
Turn your (or someone else's) nightmare into a story or poem. Gory? Vulgar? Or just Creepy? Let the horrors begin!
Nightmare
Quietly
whisper.
Don’t make a sound.
I am whispering
I am whispering
Whispering in your ear
Quiet, little one
Slowly turn your head
There is nothing more to fear there
Or the other side of your bed
Quiet, sweet one
Close your dainty eyes
Let the darkness swallow
Every droplet of your cries
Quiet, good one
And hold your little tongue
Pull the leash on your escaping words
Smother them to an echo – a bell never rung
(Last stanza to be sung in the melody of ‘Hush Little Baby, Don’t You Cry’)
Hush, little baby, don’t you cry
Twinkle, twinkle little wry
How I wonder what your eyes
Will see when the candle forever dies
