This is a scary short concrete poem about running away from things both literal and figurative. I like the action created in the way you typed falling and clawing.
Congrats on the honorable mention in the contest
Keep writing and stay healthy

Thank you for reading, enjoying and for the review. I apologize for the short cut-and-paste response but it's all I can manage right now. Please know that I care.
Hugs, Carol

Comment from karenina
Clever formation! Sort of shape poetry gone wild! Love the way you ends with "hugs"--it reminds me of a child awakening from a nightmare in a panic--being soothed by a loving mother who chases all fear away. An out of the box sort of offering. Love it!

Hey, sweet girl
Hope you are getting better and I know Jess is taking good care of you too. I just hope you are on the mend because I miss you in my cheering section. Love ya, Carol

I'm cheering as much as I can! Just can't take up so much of Jess's time while reading twenty some odd chapters of your latest BIG endeavor! I'll get there....and of course I AM cheering their success even though I haven't yet read them!

Comment from Patty Palmer
I think you about said it all in those fifteen syllables. You painted a picture with those words that send chills up my back. The beginning falling, panic, clawing used to set up the fear, then screaming nightmares silenced used to make it stop. Great job!
((((HUGS)))))

Ohhhh nicely done and well done with the formatting which undoubtedly took a long time to do as well. This is great, best of luck in the contest. Also please join the Horror Writers Club if you are interested in horror! Great work!

Carol,
Lovely! I think poems like this are so clever- demonstrating the feelings and thoughts rather than just saying them. There is a term for this poetic device and I can't for the life of me think of it!
I think this is a extra marvelous entry for the contest! Good luck!

Darned if that is one time consuming poem that took almost as much, probably more, time to format than to write. But you caught my attention. Thanks for sharing.

Scary, huh? LOL
Yes, it took a little while to set it up, but it was fun. i remember when I use to have those falling nightmares...horrible...especially since there weren't any hugs.
Smiles, Carol

loved it have to try the contest. I like the format the visualization really makes the poem. I like the images, the flow and the sound. last line is very effective as well.

Hugs quell the nightmares as we are comforted by others, so many people suffer with mental illness these days as we humans have delicate brains, a fine animated write Carol, love Dolly x

Thanks, Dolly
Not everyone has those hugs at the end of the nightmare...unfortunately, it is sad. I wish a happy ending for all.
Smiles, Carol

Wow, that is so different and original, and your presentation is excellent, adding emphasis, and making us feel we are fully experiencing what you write about. Great work (sorry, no sixes left!).
Best wishes for the contest.

I use to have those kind of nightmares, luckily they have subsided...though the one who hugged me is only with me in spirit now. Smiles, Carol
