Wow! What an imagination! And it sounds familiar as I imagined the same things as a kid - not now. Can't imagine what an overnight with you would be like. It could be scary or lots of fun!
Congratulations on another win!!

I love the wording in your form on fear that transforms are in the mind, what only the mind can conceive.

Sparkling in your poem:
-You have a very vivid imagination. Gift of descriptions.
-You paint a scene reminiscent of some of worst nightmares, that come alive as the most gruesome horror movies because of what always happens next.
-My husband would not be much help either in these situations, screaming through his own nightmares....

My favourite line: Our oversized armchair, transforms into a silent crouched panther, laying in wait. This scene alone would make a great psychological thriller.

Very well done.

I read all entries but rarely comment on two cent offers but hours qualifies because I like it's simplicity and words that allowed me entrance to your dark room.

Great poem. Your description of what you saw in those mundane items was priceless. Most children and a few adults would say you described perfectly what they have seen. Hard to sleep with so many people and things in the room. Best wishes for winning the contest.

    I think it explains why, even to this day, I'm a four-hour-a-night sleeper!!
