Murky

Watch: can you see it stirring
The murky water 'round
Can't you see it slither
Though it makes no sound
I feel as though I can't stay here
That awful pulsating of dread
We must get out before it's too late
Or it's going to have my head

Author notes

It's not that great, but I gave it a try...

    I can't read this poem. YOu need to change the font to white, or switch the gree and black, or something... I hate having to highlight stuff to read it.

    Ummmmm I really like the rhythm of this poem and all the rhythmic words you used. It gave the poem a very percussive feel. "Stirring." "'round" "Pulsating"

    Great visual, too. I can even smell the murky water. Good luck in this contest.
