In the dark
A needle dropping
Is as loud as
A semi honking
In the dark
Silence is louder
Than your keyboard
Typing faster, faster
In the dark
Sometimes you can hear
Your breath filling
With fear and fright
Shadows turn to you
Whisper in your ears
Telling you dirty secrets
Informing you of terrible events
Scream for your life
The shadows drown your voice
Laughter fills the room
As the light bulb burns out
Author notes
Some Shadows Scream
Some Shadows Whisper
I would rather meet a silent, and non-threatening, shadow!

Hmmm.. i certainly did like this, and I like how you left it open to interpretation... but then i also like your perpective of the dark.. When our sight is dimmed, our expectations of the unexpected and unwanted grow. I like the way you set this.
Anyway, great poem, great imagery, great emotions.. the whole trifecta! Thanks for your entry in my contest, good luck and well done! -
i like how it can pertain to anything, not just one thing.
