You have made excellent, expressive use of your fifteen syllables in this creatively composed poem that starts out with hair-raising terror and ends with the gentle cure for these nighttime horrors. Hugs are powerful!

A great presentation for your 15 syllable poem about frightening nightmares that thankfully ends with a hug. Yes, I too was a child that had colourful frightening nightmares that ended with a hug from mum. Great job.
Cheers

I'm sure this is what is meant when the rules state, creative approaches welcomed. Your poem is a description of my childhood dreams, because they always ended with hugs. I love the entire, very effective presentation, especially the placement of the words "falling," and "clawing," along with the photo,

    I had falling dreams all the time but unfortunately I didn't experience the hugs... until much later in life. Glad you enjoyed the poem.
    Smiles to you as always, Carol

Interesting poem. I live the picture but the words are hard to read.

I counted your syllables, you have 15 as the contest required.

Nicely written in so few syllables. It present a full picture of a nightmare and being awakened by someone who cares enough to hug and quite your racing heart.

    Glad you enjoyed it, Beth. one or two said it was hard to read because of the set up, but I felt it helped express the emotions. Glad you enjoyed it.

    I had all these things as a child except the hugs... I faced it alone but then I was blessed to receive the love and protection of my honey and I forgot about a lot of the past. Smiles, Carol

BRILLIANT! Carol, perfect syllable count and amazing wording. It all adds up to a splendid horror story which we all have now and again lurking in the dark recesses of our mind. I think your presentation is amazing, and I'm sure this will do really well in the contest. Well done, and good luck!! :)) Sandra xxx

What a dramatic poem! You made the formatting promote the action of your words. Do you still have "falling" dreams? Falling dreams was said to indicate growth spurts. But having a hug to quell nightmares is the best solution! Best wishes in the contest!

    I don't anymore but I had lots of them when I was younger...minus the hugs unfortunately. My hugger was when God gave me Michael and that was the best.
