Poems Flashcards
Black air
It was dark, so the air is called black
Spiders walk my skin.
He felt as though spiders were walking on him.
Pinching my breath
His fear made him breathless
Startled hair
The poets hair stood up straight because he was afraid
Fists clenched
He closed his hand tightly into fists
Making my own peace
Accepting the night as it was
Unheeded
Neglected ignored
Stealthily
Slyly so that no one could see or hear
Blackened
Made black

Bushes and small trees, growing under the tall trees
Quickened
