IGWRT's - Open Link Monday, "Void"

Void
by William Bednar

Snip, Snap, Clippity Clap
He hides beneath your bed.
Snip, Snap, Clippity Clap
And gets inside your head.

Shreek, Shrack, Click and a Clack
He knows you're all alone.
Shreek, Shrack,  Click and a Clack
He chills you to the bone.

This beast that's made of emptiness
And eats away your dreams,
He'll chip away your friendliness
And muffle all your screams.

Tip, Tap, Mouse in a Trap
He comes when you're alone
Tip, Tap, Mouse in a Trap
And feeds on the unknown.

Snick, Snack, Clickity Clack
He gets inside your head.
Snick, Snack, Clickity Clack
His breath fills you with dread.

This beast that's made of emptiness
And eats away your dreams,
He'll chip away your friendliness
And muffle all your screams.

Snip, Snap, Mouse in a Trap
He feeds on words unsaid.
Snip, Snap, Mouse in a Trap
He'll stop when you are dead.

Shrick, Shrack, Click and a Clack
Trip, Trap, Clippity Clap
Snip, Snap, Mouse in a Trap
Snip, Snap, Mouse in a Trap


I am sharing this poem written by my son with Imaginary Garden With Real Toads "Open Link Monday".  I've had a nightmare of my own lately, with two sick (and I mean sick) kids for five days... I hope no more catch the "bug".  And they are only worried they won't be better by Halloween night!  :)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYONE!
