Poem
The Fear of the Night Startled by a wet and chilly touch to her thigh Hannah frightfully opened her eyes With only her eyes she looked to the left and then to the right While noticing on the clock, that is was only eleven thirty at night Only her breathing she could hear No unusual sounds or loved ones that she held so dear There it was again! As anxiety over took her body while her mind trying to go insane Hannah thoughts went to another dimension of what ifs It could be this or it could be that as her mind started to shift Nothing she knew compared to this feeling As she stilled her eyes toward the ceiling Then, her sheets slowly proceeded to move towards the front of the bed She bravely reached her arm to the small light above her head It seemed like a lifetime until her finger tips felt the dangling chain The weight of the pull was harder to sustain The brightness of the light overcame her vision as she blinked several times Dots of stars flashed before her as she finally regained her normal sight What to do? She never thought this through. Should she sit up or even try to move? The bed began to rise and she decided quickly to get out of her room All she knows is that, she is going to get her broom! Making a dash from the bed to the door She tripped on the rug and fell to the floor Looking up towards the bed she breathes with relief The small mountain did not flinch as she started to creep Through her bedroom door to the hall closet On her hands and knees she began to sweat The door was already ajar as her heart slowed to a calm She stood to her feet and grabbed the broom tightly around her palm An intensity of control moved through every vein This is her home, her domain! Quickly to her room raising the broom like a sword She suddenly heard a whimper in the air so fragile she could not ignore Looking around she wondered, where this voice of help was coming from The sheets began to sway back and forth, louder the cry hummed She grabbed the sheets and threw them in the air And laughed when she realized what made her so scared A hairy creature he was From top to bottom in his cute little pajamas What was this that touched her thigh so wet and so cold? Would you believe, her sweet little puppy dogs black nose!
