Madness by Cynthia Anne Cashman
Frightful the room Of a dark imagination . Enter the haunts The dwelling of nightmares . Check under the bed , the closet , The curtains . The mirror of the mind Finds monsters reflective . The full moon is seen Rising from this window . The howling begins , Save yourself if you can . Creatures of night Are loose in the hallows . Set are the bonfires , Blazing in rage . Spider webs spun Of iridescent threads Capture marauders Slithering in thoughts . Hallways are a maze Of visions to wake . Just try to escape This chamber of horrors . Your very own room Carved from your thoughts .
Cynthia Anne Cashman lives in Los Angeles , CA . She was born in Southern Minnesota into a family business of floriculture . These roots developed in her a sense of wonder and awe that continues to inspire her . Her work appears in Nightingale and Sparrow and By Me Poetry .
