Crackling leaves

By: Joshua Kwan

Thud,Thud,Thud

Hearts beat away

Sounds of leaves crackling at night spread your mind apart.

It is a faceless devil with no soul or heart.

It’s like a monster in a closet at night.

Running out of the situation makes you feel alright.

It growls at people at the dark of night.

Fear cures hiccups with the sound of rushing scares.

The sounds of fear can even scare a full grown bear.

A figure arises out of the dark, it chases kids into a chain of hugs.

It forces buckets of hands to reach for a small switch.

Snap,Snap,Snap The crunches grow closer.

Fear is the worst part of every child’s dream.

  1. Revision 1- I changed creeps to arises on the 10th line because it helped me imagine it more realistically and it sounded more clearer. Revision 2- I replaced breaking to crackling on the 3rd line because it helps when you imagine someone with leaves breaking in the woods.

7.It was kind of easy because it just flew out of my brain to write about things that relate to fear, but it was difficult finding sensory details to match the words I used.

8.I am satisfied with my final draft because I went over my poem over and over and read it to myself to find any errors if there was any.
