Shadow Moves In

Whiteness surrounding
Howling winds push it in on me
Should be bright, but dark instead
The flatness all around me
Huddled on a cot, the flap of the door reveals
The rusted bridge, the smell of waste
And as the shadow moves in, emptiness ensues

    hmmmmm, interesting with imagery that makes the progtagonist into the ultimate vicitm, as if they have no control over what is done to them- at least, that is what the word choice is doing for the poem. It reminded me of a person in some Medieval castle (dunno why, just got some creepy images such as torture and the like what's the motivation for writing a poem all of a sudden, anyway?- yer always doing short stories and chaps. Nice poem in a dark sorta way- i likes me some dark stuff every now and then
