Silhouettes (Challenge Poem)
Like a place viewed through opaque glass Silhouettes litter this twilight world The Creeping mist encompasses all Creating the effect of a Ghost-Town It’s eerie silence and dampening feel Like a classic gothic scene Unseen voices break the silence They come and go – unobserved Your range of vision decreases As the curtain grows quietly thicker Enveloped in an uneasy cloud of white Moving faster towards your destination The fear inside growing as your vision decreases Streets and sights you know – their presence unnerving Made strange and scary by the encroaching veil You reach the doorway and enter swiftly Switch on the lights – I’m Home! – Safe and sound!
