Notes About The Poem

Contest-Trapped in Tableau-Sponsor...Nette Onclaud 3/22/26

Frightened Tableau

I crawl in the dark
With slimy cave walls
And dripping water
That lands on my back
I hear bats moving
And make my way out

Yes that would be so scary. Imagine being trapped in all that darkness too!

I know they serve a purpose, but they give me the creeps. Not much worse I would think, to be trapped in a cave with bats flying around. You set the scene, eerily sound.
