    • Beneath the Blankets, I’m Safe [Villanelle, Poem]

      Posted at 6:07 pm by Penny Tailsup, on May 2, 2018

      Narrated Version [YouTube]

       

      I won’t admit it’s there-

      The monster day denies,

      Demanding my despair.

       

      Won’t peek to meet a stare

      Of sockets without eyes,

      I won’t admit it’s there-

       

      At night my fears are bare,

      The shadows shift with lies-

      Demanding my despair.

       

      Beside myself, aware;

      The monster marks demise,

      I won’t admit it’s there-

       

      My instincts scream ‘beware’

      Beneath the blanket – cries-

      Demanding my despair.

       

      It’s only a nightmare,

      To heed it is unwise;

      I won’t admit it’s there-

      Demanding my despair.
