In the dark,
Nothing is impossible.
You may think you know what's there
But in the back of your mind,
You know that you don't.
You can't be sure of anything in the dark.
You see the doorway to a black room
And you assume there are four walls within
But that's no guarantee.
What lies beyond may be an endless abyss
Out of which nothing may return.
Every ghoul and ghost that ever haunted a nightmare
Every fabled creature that keeps a child awake at night
Waits for you in the dark.
Step inside.
Your assuredness will bring you in.
The darkness will welcome you and embrace you.
If it takes a liking to you, it may try to keep you forever.
We may not even hear you scream
But you will
And the darkness will smile.
Scoff if you must.
But one day you will find yourself in the dark
And you'll wonder if you're the only one there,
Knowing that you aren't alone.
Because you know that, in the dark
Nothing is impossible.

A little poem I jotted down this morning around 3AM when I should have been working on a paper--the same paper I should be working on now, considering that now it's late. Ah well.
The last couple stanzas leave much to be desired.
Any comments would be very helpful.

Overall
Vision Originality Technique ImpactBe more specific. The more graphic you can be about the scary things that can be found/feared in the dark, the better. I like the element of the unknown, but you can precisely describe something without giving it away. Example: claws that catch amid dusty corners, thick liquid you'll never notice is red. Those are lame and obvious, but that's the idea. the dark is scary, but the suggestion of characteristics of what's IN the dark can be more scary. This poem made me feel a bit like I feel after I watch Ghost Hunters. <img src="e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/p…" width="23" height="15" alt="
