Where Are You?

About a dream I had, quite scary...

 Walking inside of your house,

The door off its hinges.

"Mom?!" You call,

"Where are you?!"

Silence answers you.

"Are you in here?"

You call, walking into her room. Nowhere.

Where is she?

You find her as you trod upon something hard.

As you look down, you realize, it is not glass, or plaster, but your mother's hand,

Her green eyes open in surprise,

her body stiffening in the cold dirt.

Nice poem. Nice rhythm. Creative. Scary. Dark and dreary. As I read this poem, I could hear the background music. It's like something out of a movie scene. Well written. You really got my attention with the 5th line - "Silence answers you" This is a nice line. It's sets the tone for the rest of the poem and is also a beautiful use of words. "Silence" that "answers". It makes the silence even more scary. I love it. Well written!

I had a dream like this once. Actually, several when I was away from home for a month. They all involved my mother or siblings dying or already dead.

Ominous. I like it
