An Uneasy Calm

Shaunmatthewcpoetry

A quieter than usual street, there's an uneasy calm,

Short blonde haired girl is putting on lip balm,

Suited man speaking on the mobile with charm,

All of a sudden an air raid siren screams alarm,

Creatures appear from the mist, looking to harm.

    Supernatural, surreal this poem blends real life with the fantastic and one has to ask is any of this metaphor. A good read my friend.

        Shaun, this immediately pulled me in. The quiet, everyday opening makes the sudden shift into danger all the more unsettling. I definitely wanted to keep reading. Great start, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

        A write that tempts one to wonder what would have happened next.
        Maybe the next poem will have the answer 🤔
