Jordan Dickinson Poet Couplet

Is Anyone There

Step outside and feel the cold
Daily routines seem much to old
Walk the drive, get in your car
Drive to work, it's not too far
Check in early before the sun
All the machines begin to run
Drive around to scattered spots
Look on the moon and see the dots
Turn around no one is there
Paranoia brings a heightened scare
Just shrug your shoulders, look away
For every minute comes ne'er the day
Your hands are cold, nose is numb
Hear that noise, sounds as a drum
Turn around no one is there
Shrug your shoulders if you dare
Your time has come, can't run away
Never shall you see, the light of day

Timothy Hicks May 21, 2013 at 11:48 PM I used to have an irrational fear of nuclear bombs... this reminds me of that. Hearing strange loud noises and thinking "It's gonna happen... I'll hear the sound and then BOOM!... I'm a goner"... brilliantly written! I like how it makes my wind wander...

John Posey November 9, 2012 at 12:36 PM You have captured the essence of paranoia. pleasantly spooky for a poem... but frighteningly scary in reality. My first impression.... "You do good work"... thanks for your comment on my posts.... Jake Jordan Dickinson November 9, 2012 at 10:47 PM Thank you Jake! It means a lot
