The Dark Walk Of Red Riding Hood

Shadows shift as I walk in the twilight,
Movement just below my line of sight.

The creature stalks me again,
A stranger alone with not a friend.

Sense of fear feeds its drive,
Will I make it out alive?

It knows my weaknesses,
Longs for the taste of flesh,
Is my crimson cloak my final dress?

My hand touches cold steel,
It makes me numb, I can not feel.

The creature crotches,
Prepared to strike,
A spray of bullets it must fight.

Deafening sounds fill the air,
The wounded creature retreats to its lair.

In pursuit, I take hasty flight,
The creature's death will be this night.

Cornered it can flee not more,
A silver bullet is what is in store.

A final shot, through its chest,
The creature's finally laid to rest.

Started writing poetry officially in 1991, enjoy reading Edgar Allen Poe, reading and dissecting the Holy Bible, and listening to beautiful/inspiring people. Age has no bearing on creativity. Some of the most beautiful things come from those of much lesser age and life experiences. So listen to those young people!
