Nightmare Demon's (Huitain)

by Cindy   Jan 12, 2008


Nightmare Demon's

Sorrows past keeps her from slumber
Screams of pain haunt her troubled sleep
Weakened soul consumed with fever
Constantly for her love she weeps
Her nightmare demon's slowly creep
Hiding his face behind a mask
She prays her soul he finds to keep
Erasing all pain from the past

A Huitain has 8 lines.

Each line has 8 syllables only.
Lines 1 and 3 should rhyme
Lines 2,4,5 and 7 should rhyme
Lines 6 and 8 should rhyme

    much pain behind each line which screams to
    be rescued..excellent work. Take care
