Magpie Tales Prompt
Screaming thoughts stretching my nerves
into aching arching figures which
creates shadows over mumbling.
What are they saying?
What do they want?
Why do they torment me?
Why do they mock me?
They are touching my memories,
flowing sadness into joy.
Somebody, anybody, HELP!
See them creeping closer and closer.
Nooooo, noooooo
“Noirfifre, Noirfifre, Noirfifre
wake up, wake up, wake up
you were having a nightmare, AG AIN.”
Drenching in sweat, trembling
breathing deeply, in out, in out.
It happened again.

You used the alliteration so skillfully in making me scared,.. I’m so glad it was a nightmare and not reality.. I like it.
