Night Mares

For those of you who are “newer” to my blog, let me give you some background here . My twin sister and I are writing a poetry story book called Terra Spar. I think it’s pretty cool. 🙂 Anyhoooo, this is a poem we co-wrote, all about having nightmares (I promise you, this isn’t scary!) So if you get the chance, be sure to check out a few of my other poems in this book !

Characters: Nighttide (in this poem, here’s the horse/Master Night.) He’s our “villain”  so to speak. Solflame: He’s the new king (in this poem he’s the sun/Day.) He’s the super valiant hero. Enjoy the poem!

Night Mares:

He sets the stage at dusk

Dusk, it’s here, its columns dark

Darkened actors wait backstage

Backstage, they stretch and arc

–

Creatures, all lovers of Night

Night has made an exit right

Right, no left, a cricket comes in

Comes in, to let all begin

–

Operatic sounds cool the guests

Guests are soothed by harmonies

Harmonies do hypnotize

Hypnotizing sounds, sweet melodies

–

Acrobats twirl down from ceiling

Ceiling cracked, yet unrevealing

Unrevealed master observes

Observers watch on undisturbed

–

Leisurely crowd soon finds amiss

Amiss with words sung so sweetly

Sweet turns sour in their veins

Vainly try to run free

–

Deafening clock begins to chime

Chimes in rhythm, twelve times

Time has come, Night’s at his peak

Peaked mare begins to speak

–

Nightmares disperse on weary dreamers

Dreamers try to pull away

Away from hooves so cold and black

Black and blue, they call out for the Day

–

Master Night does battle hard

Hardly pulls back, merciful not

Not an hour too late, the Sun rises

Rising, soon the pain’s forgot
