It

IT stares at me

Through the darkness

I can hear IT's heavy breathing

From somewhere...over there



The fog envelopes

Death permeates the air

I can feel IT on my skin

Here...there...everywhere



Blood red eyes

Watching over me

I can see them looming larger

But run...I don't dare



I close my eyes

And my heart beats no more

As I sense IT's teeth

Enter my soul

Inspiration can lead to different takes on the same thing. LOVE Poe. One of my favorite poets as well. We've got the poetry named IT market cornered!! Hope they remake the movie "IT" one day with a bigger budget...which is the way I feel about most or his earlier movies. Thank you for the add and look forward to reading more!

Wow! U where not kidding... and by the way... It * is the movie that inspired my poem "It" as well.... but I was going for a tale like ...my favorite poet A.E. Poe... and yes.. I like the mix of a funny horror poem mixed with suspense. I also like and feel the suspense of your words and all it needed was them Scarry Sharp teeth. LOL.. sure loved your poem... I wrote my poem.. like 5 months ago. so I'm a late on my post as well... take care and right back at you with a new favorite poet. Linda
