The Collaboration Game

Myself and Wendy played the collaboration game of writing a line each and this is what we came up with. The nightmare prompt had just been and gone at the time - so that became an influencing factor in what appeared, definitely a fun game, despite the dark poem that occurred! Shifting images too real to be a dream Is there a message within the silent scream Terror envelops my form, frozen in fear Abstract visions, outside the lucid sphere Intangible feelings stir an urge for escape Claw at my mind trying to reshape Shadows with eyes that invade my mind No fight left, to my fate, resigned Has this bed become my tomb, my grave Where is the foe that did enslave Will this creature materialise at the end of my bed Or just forever reside within my head

Dark, indeed, D D...but also a clear indication that "great" minds think alike.
