Liz Carney: Nightmare Poem

Liz Carney is a freshman at the Woodlynde School.

NIGHTMARE

Hiding in the dark,

Stalking your every move,

Waiting,

Red eyes filled with hunger,

Sharp teeth stained with blood,

Ready to strike,

To sink its fangs into your flesh,

To crush your bones,

To rip your limbs,

An invented image come to life,

You can't run,

You can't hide,

It will find you,

Its name so deadly,

So terrifying,

Its name?

Nightmare
