Poem:

Nightmare

Inspired by: Jump Mama by Kurtis Lamkin

Pretty summer day
goin far away
to where the snow needs
meltin
and the sun don't shine

harsh stormy day
laughing mockingly
as the world around is
destroyed
an' the heart of a beast is tamed

lil' girl follows the summer day
her pigtails wagin as her body
dancin
dancin around the warm hot day

she sees a bird
a big ol'bird
sittin on her bench

Scat bird!
she shouts as the clouds roll in

the bird tads off
a laughin starts
and the bird comes back
again

Her look turns scared
her eyes openin
Wide
as the clouds fight the day

lookin to the bird she
screeches
lightning hits the birds beak
sparks fly all around the boilin sky

fried lil' bird engulfed
in black light
becomes an
old woman

lil' girl looks scared
again
old woman laughs
girl tries to run away
old woman grabs her sayin

You can't run! Your too old!
girl turns
Mirror reflexes the old woman
She is

Crackle of thunder
awakens her
from a Nightmare
