POEM STARTER
Write a poem that has an uncanny mood.
Uncanny is defined as strange or mysterious, especially in an unsettling way.
She never blinks
I found her in the attic
I was 5 and so was she
We grew up together and I loved her
She has a cute appearance but there’s something strange
It began to frighten me a bit
So I put her back in the attic
I closed the door and I felt something
Her eyes were beady but it felt like she was looking
Looking at _me_
“Of course she is! She’s a doll! What do I expect?” I say
But why does it feel like her presence is haunting
Maybe it is
I tried to forget and went to bed
The next morning, I woke up and she was there
Right in front of me, giving me a rebellious look
She moved-
Maybe it’s a child trapped in her body
But no one will know
