Domon
The Scare of The Closet Demon
there's an old tale of a demon
that comes only at night
to feed off of fright.
it sleeps its soul by dawn
awakes at dusk, watches the children yawn.
as the children fall into the abyss
the demon steals away from the closet to
frighten the children from their dreams.
slowly creeping towards the edge of their bed
as the little children start to lift their heads.
the children suspect nothung and lay back down
a perfect time to reap out the clown.
creepy scratchy noises under a bed
frightens their little heads.
calls for mom callsfor dad
a quick time to dash.
slam the closet hard
watch the little children run afar.
children cry
as their parents sigh.
dad looks around
finds nothing but the ground.
parents in disbelief, as can only be
described as more than grief.
realizing the reality of now
they Call the police while wondering how
yet another missing childs poster
gets thrown out.
my task is complete
now lets find another child to eat.

Why Just Write Is The Best Advice You Don’t Listen To
Before the last 6 months, I hadn’t written anything that wasn’t for my job or university for a number of years. I wanted to write more, I used to write all the time just for fun. I used to write poems and short stories that were just for me. I used to show them to certain members of my family but it was the process of writing them that I really enjoyed.
