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...

You write the best horror poems ever. Everyone horrific but yet beautiful with how the words flow. Thank you.

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
