Menacing shadows
Invisible eyes
Distant thunder
Nervous cries,
Icy fingers,
Ghoulishly white,
Haunting my curtains.
Turn on the light!

Dear Alys,
I like this poem and I think you must of put lots of effort in to it. I like the image and I like it is an acrostic poem.
Hi Ranulaka. Yes, it actually took many weeks to finish this poem, so that I was happy enough to add it to my website. I started with an un-rhyming poem then decided I’d like to turn it into an acrostic poem instead. I began by brainstorming words that I might associate with midnight and then created a list of words that rhymed. In this way, I slowly built up the poem. Alys
