Something Lethal This Way Comes

"Horror"

Gleaming red eyes
gazing at me
from beneath rippling grey fur

Fangs glisten
hungry panting echoes
I can only feel fear

Running isn't an option
as the creature approaches
something lethal this way comes

and I know without doubt
I am dinner
for there is no escape for me

makes me think of being cornered by a hungry wolf, which would be terrifying. im not sure if you were going for some other creature or not, and it might be because i just read your wolf lune haiku. in any case, knowing your own demise is imminent is truely horrifying. very nicely done.

A simple poem that packs a big punch in the area of terror and horror. Nicely done for sure. I like this piece.
