Shadow On The Wall

Shadow On The Wall

A Poem by Michael Stevens
"

Fear Is the...

"
Fear is the unexplained Shadow On The Wall.

It's a living thing that you don't understand at all.

It morphs into hideous the longer you stare.

The only thing you know is it shouldn't be there.

You're paralyzed, transfixed and immobilized,

It's laughing at you as you sit there, utterly demoralized.

It destroys your equilibrium, send you spinning into the dark,

For it's corrosive effects, you're an easy mark.

Thank you much, FD!
I love horror and I love this piece.
I love the image you have put to go with it, the way you explain what fear feels like is great.
The long words and then rhyming them, very impressive.
I enjoyed this write for sure :)

I write for fun; I write comedy pieces and some dramatic stuff. I have no formal writing education, and I have a fear of being told I suck, and maybe I should give up on writing, and get a job makin.. more..
