Another awesome piece.
This is simply chilling with great imagination.

Specially this stanza

They seem to want to capture
You and your living soul
Maybe this is something
They think will make them whole

I have heard this reason in stories and watched in movies and somehow it just convinces me :)

Great write, nice to see you out of writer's block.

all the best and take care

It is a frightening thing..reading this reminds me of the series they show "The Haunting"..we never know what lurks where and when it will come for you! Liked the read!

Not sure I would classify this as a dark poem. I read it as more of a humorous look at possible children being scared of the dark, maybe adults too. It is a good poem to read on Halloween I think.

Your poem is amazing.

This has a real eerie, depressing feeling to it. It was written very well to make the reader feel what you feel... very nicely done my dear. :)

Thanks, Cindy, I will sleep lightly now!!
All the very best and a great dark piece with a good flow.
take care,
Ben
