The Nightmare

• Artist: Celia Antoinette
• Description: I had to write this for a school assignment even though i suck at poetry. The assignment was to write a peice of poetry on a painting that was in our school art show and the one i did was called The Nightmare. It was black and white with a creepy looking girl eating a fish swimming in the air... Ya thats weird but it was my fav.

I tried and tried to fall asleep
So I began counting sheep
And slowly as I drift away
My eyes began to heavily sway.

My mind drifts and numbs to the cool feel
While I sit waiting for my thoughts to seal
In my dreams I see the horrors
Of what others blur into auras.

Restlessly tossing and turning
While my mind is continuously churning
Still asleep my mind does scream
At last my conscious settles from that horrible dream.
This is that nightmare!

The sound of hissing and it’s spinal chill
It’s what our nightmares kill
And what they breath out like light
Like the living we walk painlessly without our sight .
