The Shinning

The Shinning was a movie
I watched it on t.v.
The  movie was long
A movie from the book
Written by Steven King
First I read thebook
From cover to cwith me
Since I HAVE READ THIS BOOKover
Even when in be
I could not put it down
When my drooped 
I was in deep sleep
So I dreamt of the book
The pages i read
In sleep I was there
Seeing everything
One scene stays with me
Since I read this book 
A scene that scares me
All this time that passed
When I ponder it
I awake in my dream
For no reason at all
Only to go to the window
To stare at the black sky
With the pericing red eyes
