Darkness
By Eric Mai

Is dark like a very old mansion
Like shadows, staring at you
Like black flames moving through Chinatown
Like a moving sky
Is blurry, from my far view
With mountains, with ice all over, very big,
From the middle of my eye,
Is scary, if a ghost is in it

A town full of people,
A big crowd,
With windows brighten up,
A tower,
To see very far,
Some wind, in a big spiral
7 suns, to help me find my way to Chinatown
Very bright, very windy, very cold,
For people to stay home.

Be careful, there’s a monster! ! !
