A Noise In The Night

 

 

One dark, cold and dreary night

A beautiful women had such a fright

Scared by a noise that came from her closet

She jumped out of bed and completely lost it

Scared and shaking, running fast

Down the hallway at last

In her night gown of silk and lace

Now, her home no longer safe

At the front door, she grabs the knob

As she hears a call from her room

Violently turning the knob as she sobs

She flung open the door fleeing from doom.

Out the door she ran away

Through the woods without delay

All alone and nowhere to stay

In the dark, dreary woods of dismay

She sat under a huge oak tree

and was somewhat shaded by it’s leaves

By the full moonlight she could see

The path she left between the trees

As she caught her breath, trying hard to be still

Her body now damp and covered in chills

Her heart pounding, her eyes wide open

Watching the path to see what unfolded

The midnight song of the owl begins

Noise from the dark, creep closer in

The trees began to shake their leaves

Footsteps along the path make her freeze

Thoughts of her life run through her head

What will they do if they find me dead

No, I can’t think that way…..

I will fight….. and be brave

She quietly grabbed a stick from behind

Instantly she was brought back through time

Back in her bed as she was before

This time no noise from her closet door

She sat there and wondered, was this a dream

It seemed all real, the fear and the screams

Shaking and chilled, her body damp

In her hand, the stick she tightly clamped

A write that keeps the reader on thier toes the whole time. What was after her. A creature of the night? A ghost? Some other form of supernatural being perhaps? Hmm. Lots of questions, making the reader want to know more. I thought you set the tone excillently. I could almost feel the cold air and the damp earth. Could almost hear noises creaking.

An excillent write. Enjoyed every line of it.

A nightmare or something more sinister? I like how you leave it for the reader to make up their own mind. Reminds me of historical novels like those of Wilkie Collins almost. Nice work!

What a wonderful thriller! I really prefer this type of narrative poetry so far. I can never make one though. I was surprised how you let the readers wonder at the end. Good job! I will expect more of this.
