http://dailypost.wordpress.com, Daily Prompt, DP
Write about something you consider “ugly” — war, violence,
failure, hatred — but try to find beauty, or a sense of hope, in your
thoughts.
Photographers, artists, poets: show us UGLY.
It creeps up
On you slowly
Giving way
To eerie thoughts
And creepy shadows
Allowing all of the
Strange creatures
Out of their cage
Whispers through
The trees
Making you feel
They are speaking
About you
Cats screaming
Bats howling
Dogs barking
Brightness
Turns into dull
As day turns
Into night
But yet something
Changes, the cars
Quiet down
Train whistles silenced
Motorcycles rest
Kids all in their beds
It is just me and myself
A time to come together
To go over what
The day has given
A time to pray
And a time to snack
Wrapped under my sheets
Just my TV and peace.
