Creatures that hide
Eyes glow red.
Some are living,
And some are dead.
Graveyards and ghosts
So many fears.
Burrowing in your soul,
Bringing a flow of tears.
Come ye young,
And come ye old,
To a dark hidden place,
So lonely and cold.
Close your eyes,
If you so dare.
And wander into
The world of nightmares.
Author notes
I had written a poem about dreams before and decided for this contest to instead write about nightmares. Hope you enjoy.

Just for your information, I'm putting you automatically in the finalist list because you were the ONLY one to put in a fresh write. Talk about laziness on this site. Good job for you though.
