You've captured beautifully how imagination works. I use to watch lots of horror and thriller type movies years ago. I remember when the movie Halloween first came out. It had me looking under the bed and in closets for a while. Thanks for sharing this well written work. Well done!

    Night of the living dead had me terrified. I saw it at a drive -in movie and my sister drove us through a cemetery right after. I went hysterical. Lately I really haven't been able to sleep and all kinds of things go through my head..oh well. Thank you so much for reading my poem.

Great job on painting the picture of the dark and what how our minds go to the worst place possible "monsters my soul will take". I would just challenge you to find an alternative to "ghosts" in the last line instead of repeating it again, maybe "spirits" or even "souls". Good job and good luck!

It is a fun poem. I would love to read you play with the structure and word choices. I think focusing in tiny details around you would make it more interesting. Overall, good work!!

Yes, imagination can really play games with us in the dark. Then when the light comes, all goes away like a dream. The sunlight bursts into our room and the visions of the night disappear.

Terrific artistic presentation and artwork.

I wish you luck in that contest, this should do very well.

Enjoyed!!! Loved the picture. I believe that is the bed that I used to sleep in?

I believe you have met the requirements of this contest: Write a short poem, of any type, but with two stanzas only.

Best of luck.

I have had the same thoughts at night when im all alone and hear a noise! Definitely an overactive imagination! Lol. I love this poem as well as the picture you choose! Worthy of a six star rating! Great work!

This is a clever write. I like how it begins with scary monsters ceated by a child and then the realization of the cat and as the child grew, the monsters were replaced by friendly ghosts.

    It's actually about me..lol. I've been having trouble sleeping lately and I'm a little scared of the dark. But then I start thinking about all the happy family moments I've had in my house and feel better. Any tips on improving my poem? I always welcome them. Thanks for reading.

Hello :)
I really like the meter and rhyme scheme you have used. It is so tight and even, your poem reads beautifully and it's relatable.
Some nights I convince myself there's something lurking in the shadows too! It's always something completely logical though, when I check around (phew!)
I like the balance between your 2 stanzas - the darkness followed by the light.
Nicely done.
Good luck in the voting booth.
Best wishes, Debra :)
