Scared (Poem by Mark Swift)

The shadows surround me,
I have become their prey.
My heart starts racing,
I have no clue why.
Impulsive decisions consume,
Every thought I dare make.
Too tired to sleep,
Any my dreams gone bad,
How long before,
I crack at last?

  2. Wow. I really love this poem, albeit sad. I can relate to some of the aspects in this, as well. This is a sad poem, but I love the details and descriptions that contribute to the fast (sort of) pace and overall mood.

  3. I love this! I love how it seems to have fear swallowing up the reader. This poem is a combination of kylyn and Mark (for those who don't know who those people are, they're two characters in my book)

I assume most of you are familiar with what Mad Libs are. Basically, you're given a bunch of blanks to fill in, and you do so without knowing what the story is. Each blank has a part of speech labeling it, and that blank needs something that fits the part of speech. For example: Adjective: ________ --> Adjective: Explosive In the end, we usually have a hilarious end result that makes no sense whatsoever. One example is this (which is a real result I got once with my siblings): "Another way to help you fall asleep faster is drinking a nuclear glass of warm vinegar ." First, let's go over some rules. Obviously, keep it family friendly. This still goes for all blog content. Do not submit two words in a row. Submit one, and when someone else does one, you may do another. Submit through comments. That'll make it easier for me to assemble the final result. The category is Medieval Heroes . Here are the blanks: Adjective: Constipated (Kyra) Per

Q/A With Shaly

This was bound to happen, like so much that the one that is probably next is I don't know... The Poet of Steel or Spitfire or Lady Knight, or just some other crazy. Plus, you guys know the drill. Mark's Addition : So...well...yeah, if anyone else wants to do one, let me know. Apparently, this is the thing to do on my blog right now, though I admit, I have no clue why.
