Bete Noir

by goddess-glamourpuss   Nov 1, 2006


Silently through the night they creep
Claiming innocents whilst they sleep

Vampires, ghosts, monsters and more
Always something waits in store

The image flees with sunlights ray
But terror lingers through the day

In your throat there sits a lump
Maybe from the cupboard one will jump

But perhaps the very worst of all
Is not the one with endless fall

'Tis that which speaks unto the heart
Sinks straight in as poison dart

For that one never goes away
And may soon visit in the day

    Oh wow. I loved the imagery in this. It was like I could see exactly what was happening. In a sort of imaginary way. =P The flow was very well thought out. I just read it, and it came into my head. The rhymes were also very original. That's definately a plus in my books. Well done. =) 5/5 xoxo

    ['Tis that which speaks unto the heart]
    I think it should be "into" not "unto"

    Nice poem. I liked how you split it up into two line stanzas, you dont see that very often. The flow was good as were the rhymes. The descriptions also worked well but I think more detail could have been put into them. Nicely done though 5/5
