Nightmare

by beeseeker

Born, innocently enough,

In the full, clear light of day –

As simple mischiefs often are –

As sunset-shadows grew long,

It started to go a little bit wrong.

With dark-thoughts getting stronger

It got sinisterly wronger

So, when black night was longest,

Screams at their strongest

It reached dreadful-climax wrongest.

 

 

(My apologies to the grammar purists out there.)

  2. Paul i to think its fine as Deborah said inventing words is fine.
