Imaginary Monster

It bared its teeth
and growled its growl 
and knocked over the vase.

I saw it!
I saw it!
It also pushed over the lamp!

Down crashed all 
the plates!
It was a huge disgrace!
I saw it!
Yes, I saw it
smash all of the plates!

Then it trashed my room,
broke the vacuum,
and left without a trace.

I like this cute, semi-horror tale. I see possibilities for soaring, greater writes. ;-)

What a tall tale, it does remind me of how my daughter would blame the monsters. Thanks for entering and grats on a win ;)
