Good morning everyone! I am going to do something a little different today for my word of the day. I am going to combine three blogs’ words of the day, and I am going to write it in the poetry style, Alliterisen, which I first saw from one of the blogs I follow called The skeptic’s kaddish. I will be doing three sequences of the style. The words of the day that I will be using are gallery from Word of the Day Challenge, black from The Daily Spur by Nox, and Kafkaesque from Fandango’s One Word Challenge. I wanted to try something new and really challenge myself, and I also wanted to feature many different blogs for you guys to check out. I hope you enjoy, and I always welcome feedback! *smiles* Here we go!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They are there in the darkest nights
To greet me, so to say, with their despair
I despise when they find me
Daring me to let them in my head
Light is lacking, black, dark
A gallery of Kafkaesque pictures
I feel no power, no control
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The trouble comes to me at my sleep
It is not dreams that come to me these slumbers
I am at their use, their device
Like a minion, the nightmare consumes me
I try to awaken, shook
My nerves balled up in fear, I scream loud
Heart pounding, I sit straight up, no breath
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dark is the night that finds you while sleeping
The blackness surrounding my bed consumes my soul
The pictures in my head feel too real
Uncontrollable, scary, powerless schemes
These night terrors put into me
Mind objectified, like a possession
No tranquility, my sleep only fright
Your words painted a picture of a tormented, tortured soul. Powerfully written.
