Penitent in nightly dreams that haunt
Languish in dark shadows that daunt
Abed in the mansion no longer a home
Ghosts of now past wander and roam
Unmerciful nightmares continuely prey
Envelope night sweats, thoughts turn gray
Death stalks the mind, heavily weighs

Merry meet,
Congratulations on winning the Honorable Mention. The fact that this was a rhyming acrosstic just amazes me. Very spooky and Poe-esque. I'm not sure that I agree with The Fun House about the ending catching up. It seems to me that yes, you could have written another line, but I think that would have detracted from the impact the last line gives.
Regardless, congratulations once again on your win.

Good luck in the contest.
