It Wakes
By SilentStalker
The lullabies are all but gone
Their songs of painful cries
It stretches now upon the bed
And opens up its eyes
Alone inside this darkened cave
Its home of feast and death
Their bodies once adorned the walls
But now there's nothing left
The silence starts to drive it mad
It hates to be alone
The hunger pangs are getting worse
It rushes from its home
It killed so many long ago
But now wants even more
It wakes again, and now it hunts
More hungry than before...

This would be a delicious poem to see as an introduction to a horror novel. It wets the appetite, and has you looking around the corner to be sure it's not hungry for you! Great Job.

The sing-song verse reminds me of me!!! I like the way you eliminated any extra words in this piece...poems that are TOO long are only jeweled prose in my book. I just gotta laugh, we really have a lot in common in our style!! :)Snake

Nice. I could really feel the dark atmosphere. And it's amazing how the way in which you display words seem to sound like music as I read it... Very,very good. *Lilith*
