Scarecrow

The Scarecrow watches me
A glare on his face that should not be
Fear bleeds from my heart and soul
I experience a fear I wish never to know

The Scarecrow dances the dance of death
I feel being pulled from me my living breath
I want to run, I want to feel, I want to escape
But I know this horror will be my fate

The Scarecrow laughs and it screams
I feel my life leaving me as if I'm in a dream
I try to think, I try to breathe, but caring I lack
Dark crows gather and they wildly laugh

I cry as I feel the coldness of being dead
This is the place my life has led
The Scarecrow mocks and the crows fly high
Hello Demons, welcome me as I now die

Quite haunting and excellent use of metaphors regarding the process of dying and the fear many have it.

I had to put all the periods in there because it says I have to use a minimum of 25 characters now.

[Tina Kline]

Same here. That's why I used a lot of periods to thank you. It's a stupid rule that seems to have sprung up on reviews and comments in response to reviews.

Oh. I thought you were mocking my post...................................... ; )

[Tina Kline]

No! I wasn't doing that at all. I'm sorry you thought that. :)

[Craig2591]

It's okay. I thought you were doing it in jest. As a friend.

Very well crafted horror poem. It's as if the scarecrow is an agent of death and is slowly killing the person. This is very creepy. It truly gave me the chills. I'm impressed by the writing!
