Deb M Poet Free verse

-Complete Darkness

A street light flickers and dies in the dead of night
Complete Darkness
Silence


The distant sound of a dog barking
Complete Darkness
Silence


Two chilling blood curdling screams
Complete Darkness
Silence

Footsteps approaching
Complete Darkness
Then Silence!

Sotto Poet August 25, 2023 at 5:26 AM Your poem is truly haunting, Deb, with great imagery. And when read at night. It sends shivers down my spine and evokes a sense of dread. Well done!
