Museum Adventure

one rainy afternoon, I found myself at a Museum of art a place of valuable collections, so amazing and delightful I was meandering when I came upon a really awful painting the dark painting depicted a huge monolith structure opening and as if a prelude the room began to go opaque and transparent I found this quite annoying and tried to turn away- I was frozen frightened when I was transported and finding me within that dreadful painting it was night and above was an obscure oval moon a gruesome creature was slithering towards me- it was repulsive the monster wore a vicious gleaming grim grin and spoke in a vindictive spiteful voice- wanting to patronize me noxious was the smell of this part man and part snake demon it lunged and I began to run breathless I plunged forward and I was victorious and fortunate- for I was now standing once more looking at the horrible painting feeling quite weird and eerie within a great stone cavern slithered away a snake Looking around I found the room was empty and realized- that the gallery was closed for the day nevertheless, I felt pride for I had escaped that evil monster NOW- how to get out of here . . . ____________________________ July 21, 2016 Free Verse
