POEM STARTER

You begin to hear a voice singing to you, a voice that nobody else can hear. It slowly grows louder, and carries a sinister message.

Create a poem based on this concept. You may wish to include the voice's words and use them throughout the poem.

Voice

There it was.

Lilting through

The air, down the

Alleyway.

The sound was so

Subtle, the faintest

reverberating echo.


There I was.

Frozen on the sidewalk,

Captive between

Two buildings, held

by the silence

Between when it was heard

And when I would hear it,

growing as it drew closer.


I could just make

Out the words and

The melody they carried,

A feather landing softly

On my ears.


The words came again:

“You are not alone,

For I am always watching.”
