Challenge
Write about your worst fear. Something that runs chills down your spine, stops your heart or accelerates it, makes you tremble in fear or just freezes your body and mind. Poetry preferred but prose is acceptable too.
For the birds
Sun streams through my hair,
the greens and blues of summer
with the gentle breeze lift my spirit
Then I see it. Deep, beady eyes
strutting with ignorant cockiness,
one pale, wrinkled foot steps towards me
A scream escapes me, my hands fly up,
my heart beats a furious dance in my chest,
my conciousness a stream of profanities
and should haves
A whirl of tanned legs and curly hair,
loud clucking and fanning skirts,
the winged demon is trapped,
the coop is locked.
I can still feel the beady eyes,
but revenge will be mine:
