The night
Frightens me
What is behind
That big oak tree
Is is a monster?
Is it a car?
That sound doesn't
Seem so far
They frighten me
Out of my mind
And make me leave
My senses behind

Something I wrote a decade ago, so please pardon the crappiness.

i love this write. In such few words it gives a lot of expression. I can feel the fear of a young child alone in its room at night, imagination running wild, brain doing over time. It really does capture a childs mind brilliantly

I like it. It flows well. You are clear with your words. You have an element of surprise. It is fun. You are surely frightened. It would be a great childrens' poem. Thanks!
