James Fraser Poet Rhyme

The Darkened Shed

My spooky tale
Was when I was young
Caravan park
Where it all begun
 
A little girl
Disappeared one day
Like all little girls
Who frolicked, while play
 
A deadened shed
Amidst my dream
This darkened place
Not as it seems
 
I tell the police
I know where she is
I'm nine years old
Getting blamed for this
 
Where is she
What have you done
At nine years old
Wanting to run
 
As much as I try 
My legs don't move
As her family mourn
What can I prove
 
I'm now 48
Off this I still dream
And in my sleep
My eyes still stream
 
Standing by the shed
Being asked, where is she
Are they recurring dreams
Or was it reality

 
For John Loving's " spooky tale " event and i now challenge
            Dane Ann with a spooky tale of her own

Anthony Nutter December 7, 2009 at 6:21 PM Scary Write but very well done. The question is how would I get over a nightmare such as this? Not sure that I could. Dreams can be of pleasure and adventure or recurring and nightmarish. Let's hope for good dreams.

Sara Kendrick July 16, 2009 at 12:45 PM It would be a nightmare for sure to dream of a person's disappearance. Good writing. Keep it up. Sara

Carolyn Devonshire July 16, 2009 at 12:17 PM Gee, I hope this is fictional, James. It frightened me to think of you as a young child being blamed for the disappearance this little girl. I am hoping, that as you implied in the last verse, this was just a recurring dream. Excellent write - spellbinding! Let's see what Dane Ann comes up with! Did you let her know the torch was passed to her? Love, Carolyn

Charlene Bird July 16, 2009 at 10:22 AM This is a spooky tale James, did they ever find her? Interesting game that you soup peeps are playing.
