- Dead End Street -

                                      Admit you lost track
                                   under a blue fever moon
                                      Buckle your seat belt
                                           The hysterical,
                                        the shrinking curse
                                       Chew dog food, gum
                                      it sure smells delicious
                                         Constant tinnitus

                                       Burn aromatic herbs
                                       Dangerous situations
                                   with sparks from the mains
                               A threat to the electricity pylons
                                        they are blacked out
                                      The street was familiar
                                       as one's own pocket
                                   Mysterious disappearances
                                      Even not Stephen King
                               understood what had happened

Bj Legros Kelley November 21, 2023 at 4:16 PM Your poem is spooky and mysterious Anne-Lise. I haven't written one, and probably won't but I do enjoy reading them and really like yours. Good luck in the contest :)

Daniel Turner November 16, 2023 at 2:30 AM Too many horror movies, Anne. You should switch to rom coms. Strange and spooky!

William Kelii Kekaula November 15, 2023 at 11:01 AM I found this contest to be a hard write for me, but I read others, like yours--exceptional viewpoints. Well done, Anne-Lise, GL on the contest. Aloha, William Anne-Lise Andresen November 15, 2023 at 11:11 AM - Yes, it was a hard contest William - Getting a short story isn't easy with this topic ... I don't like "A-4 long" poems :) - Thank you very much :) - hugs

Charles Messina November 15, 2023 at 7:53 AM Eerie, spooky, scary...all the above. Great take on the contest, Anne-Lise. Best wishes.. Hugs Charlie

Valsa George November 15, 2023 at 4:07 AM Sometimes even familiar streets become strange and dark. May be through some mysterious malevolent intervention. A novel way of approaching the subject. 'Blue fever moon' has ominous connotations

Nancy Kaufman November 15, 2023 at 3:41 AM Hi there, I just realized after reading some other poets poems that this is or was a contest. DUH for me. Rather dark and scary imagery and plan not to meet on that dead end street. Best of luck on this well penned poem.

Joseph May November 14, 2023 at 3:32 PM An eerie tale of "losing track under a blue fever moon", Very nicely penned Anne, hugs

Silent One November 14, 2023 at 2:09 PM Even Steven King did not understand... love this take on the theme.. very clever.

Jennifer Proxenos November 14, 2023 at 1:34 PM This is a definite win dear Anne-Lise, so very scary yet so artfully expressed. Good luck in the contest although I don't think you need my luck. Hugs and blessings, JENNIFER.

Lin Lane November 14, 2023 at 10:58 AM OK... All I needed to see was that black crow on a dead-end sign to know it was going to be the death of something or someone. Nice one, ominously written, Anne-Lise.

Darlene De Beaulieu November 14, 2023 at 10:53 AM Hello sunshine smile, this is really a mystery. will it ever be solved? Hugs. /Darl;ene/ Darlene De Beaulieu November 14, 2023 at 11:52 AM Hello Sunshine smile, i agree it will not be solved. Your welcome. Good to be back. Hugs. /Darlene/ Anne-Lise Andresen November 14, 2023 at 10:59 AM - No, I do not think so ...it will always be a mystery, Darlene :) - Nice to see you ... thanks for your comment :) - hugs
