Pitch-Black Terror

It is weird to me how a little bit of darkness can increase fear so fast!

Hello Gershon … the night is not meant to be our time, but there is a world of intriguing creatures that give us the heebies when we intrude in their domain - thanks Gershon - Lindsay

Never liked the dark, always felt something bad lurked there. I was playing hide and seek with my son, he was about seven - mom I always find you - OK I said - went into my bedroom, shut the light and called Ricky, but I put my hand over the switch. When he came to the bedroom he put his hand out to put the light switch on - to this day I regret what I did, he got such a fright when he felt my hand he screeched and cried, felt like the worst mom in the world - I adore Ricky! Written creatively Gershon. Blessings, Jenn.

Great content, Gershon, I always have enjoyed the night. I like the serenity of it. Hugs Eve

Fear a seed well developed in this poem GW, kelli

Gershon, What is it that draws near? Wonderful intrigue unfolded in this foreboding poem. I read it in the voice of Vincent Price the second time through. -Richard

This vivid poem immerses one completely in the shrieking terror of a scary night, Gershon. Love the last line. Best of wishes. :=)

The terror fades as our eyes adjust! As a child I was always afraid of the dark...now I find myself at piece in the darkest hours...love this, Gershon Hope all is well my friend
