The Open Window

Darla M. Beck
I stare out the open window,

and gaze into the dark night.

I see a black shape moving,

it gives me quite a fright.

The shadows are coming alive,

there are monsters everywhere.

They fill the night with terror,

I'm left here trembling in fear.

I close the open window,

and climb into my bed.

I grab onto the blanket,

and put it over my head.

When morning finally arrives,

it chases the monsters away.

I survived the scary night,

I'm ready to face the day.
