\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Poem Material<\/strong><\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t written a poem in awhile now.<\/p>\n

Got to come up with a new poem somehow.<\/p>\n

Lots of thoughts running through my head.<\/p>\n

Nothing that\u2019s good that I\u2019ve heard or read.<\/p>\n

I need to grab something out of the blue.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t think of what else I can do.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t even think of something that is creepy.<\/p>\n

All that\u2019s happening is that I\u2019m getting sleepy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All \u00a0was dark, then \u2018It\u2019 was the darkness.<\/p>\n

On a starless night \u2018It\u2019 came. \u2018It\u2019 was heartless.<\/p>\n

I knew beyond a doubt that \u2018It\u2019 was \u2018The Other.\u2019<\/p>\n

I knew for sure that \u2018It\u2019 was not my brother.<\/p>\n

I am also glad \u2018It\u2019 was not my mother.<\/p>\n

All my life I\u2019ve never seen a \u2018demon\u2019, riding on the wind.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019 seemed to laugh then said I could never win.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019 promised me my life if I would worship \u2018him\u2019.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A awoke with a start. I had fallen asleep.<\/p>\n

\u2018What was that?\u2019 A nightmare, I didn\u2019t want to repeat.<\/p>\n

\u2018Just great.\u2019 \u2018I try to write a poem & I pass out.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Then have a nightmare.\u2019 \u2018What\u2019s this about?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018My imagination is going wild.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Why couldn\u2019t I dream of heaven?\u2019, I smiled.<\/p>\n

\u2018Being able to write poems could be a curse.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018But, then again, it\u2019s all in the verse\u2019.<\/p>\n
