It's Your Own Teeth that are Nearest Your Throat

Hiding under the covers
He is not aware
That the shadow that he's scared of
Is the shape of his own fear.

In a list

    O.O

    I must agree with the comment below me, it is very simple yet effective and I can see this is a creepy kids book somewhere. It's sweet in a morbid sort of way and to the point and I like that about this one, I also like the idea of fear and darkness manifesting into physical shapes so great work. It is not exactly rhyme, more of a slant rhyme but in previous comments I accept that because it is a form of rhyme none the less. Thanks for entering and good luck to you in the contest.

  • Very simple, but effective. I could see this in a children's book actually. I would not capitalized every line here, would read more fluid.

    This ones eerie and makes me think of those times I had to comfort him with his fears... human fears are often irrational and rarely take place, but at the back of the mind the shadows lurk.

    This is good...very clever. You paint a strong, vivid picture in these few short words. The brilliant part about it is, that no more words are needed. This fear is probably one that all can relate to without exception. Nicely done. Thank you for the entry.
