Poem



Under the covers,
you got the flashlight on
Shivering and hyperventilating,
you’re convinced there are monsters
lurking in the dark
It’s time to test your eleven-year-old
faltering courage
Before your younger sister tell somebody
how scared at night you be
A boy frightened of shadows
is guaranteed to be bullied
So you peel back the covers
and switch off the flashlight
Then slip down on your knees
to say a little prayer
Asking God to help you please
When you finish, you open your eyes
and everything feels right in the room
Eureka!
It all make sense now
The moving shadows were the swaying branches outside,
and the eerie sounds was the whistling of the wind
moving through the trees, rustling the leaves ...
And an owl hooting intermittently
But that strange thumping noise 
coming from the attic,
you still haven’t figured that one out yet
Right now, you got bigger problems,
the bed is soaking wet ... and it ain’t from body sweat
