Writing prompt #44: Write a poem based on a dream you had. Try to reproduce the sensations of the dream.
It was a building I don’t recognize
But what I heard and saw I didn’t want to recognize it
I heard screaming through the walls
I heard people yelling help throughout the halls
Everyone in the room were laying on the floor
I felt butterflies flying through my core
As I heard a banging noise sort of like a gun shot
It kept going off as the yelling started to cease
After each minute it got closer and closer
I could fill my heart beat rise like a roller coaster
As the banging noise was no longer just a noise
It had a face that was cold and poised
The gun he held was something out of a war movie
I didn’t see no other option so I started to move rapidly
Through the glass window I went
Not knowing how far I was up, I jumped
Then I woke up
Something those kids in those mass shootings couldn’t do
Sometimes I wish it was just a Dream for them too
Don’t you?
Disclaimer: This was truly a dream or rather I say a nightmare I had shortly after the parkland shooting. I don’t know how to feel about this one. I often let my imagination control the pen when writing these prompts. I hope you enjoyed. The prompt is from https://www.creative-writing-now.com/creative-writing-prompts.html.
