Being an anxious child who couldn’t sleep — even worse. I was wracked with nightmares, sleepwalking and sleep staring (whatever that is) and all of the nervous energy between.

Things that go ‘bump’ in the night

Y’all knew this one was coming. It’s Fall, October, the owls calling out in the night. That freaky Netflix show, The Haunting of Bly manor. Halloween on the horizon of a hilltop moonlit night. It’s all eerie. Eerie, indeed.

It’s time to embrace the creepy, the freaky, the weird things that go bump in the night…this one’s about fear.

When I was a child, lots of things frightened me. Being an anxious child who couldn’t sleep — even worse. I was wracked with nightmares, sleepwalking and sleep staring (whatever that is) and all of the nervous energy between. There were creepy things beneath my bed. Behind the closet door. Tapping on the window. I was afraid of a lot as a child, even going to school. The grocery store, parking lots, white vans, men with red hair — yeah, the list was long and I had a wild imagination.

There. That place beneath the bed in the dead of night — that’s where I want you to go. Feel that fear a bit. Whatever frightened you terribly as a child, or even now, is great material for poetic expression.

USE IT.

And write your poem. Use language that sets the mood. Let us feel the fear and mystery with you. Scare us too.

This time you won’t be alone.
