The Hound of Nightmares
One dingy night in the forest I stayed
Where the bushes had always gently swayed
I set up my fire and it moved with no efface
My camp was the star in the void of space,
I got in my tent to retire for the night
My camp was covered with a light so bright
I then heard someone lightly breathe
Which was followed by a heavy heave,
With aplomb I went to peruse
Then I thought it may be a ruse
So I walked ahead
And loudly said:
"I am in the deep slumber sea
So do go and don't cumber me."
Then I surely stood with a stand so tenacious
Then from the woods came a hound so voracious
A hound with eyes having a red hue
As I stood with fear, my terror grew,
The hound howled like a drunk
The beast had crippled my spunk
Then I ran with the speed of Hermes
With my speed, I escaped the tall trees
About this poem
