    can you guys help me by commenting on my poem? lauren
    The Witching Hour

    Darkness creeps over the sky
    Birds song has stopped being sung
    I bade the light farewell, good by
    The witching hour has begun

    Creeping through the shadowy halls
    Starring at every inch that I see
    Scary pictures and designs on the walls
    Right now I wish I wasn’t me

    Noises start to fill my ears
    Running faster I see:
    My comfy bed start to appear
    Reaching my bed, I feel free

    Lauren, you are NOT supposed to write the technique on the paper because he said we might try to guess what technique iit is
