Prompt: Monsters are Real Sestina form
Word Count: 369

Eerie sounds in the night bring alarm
The noises of the darkness sound so scary
Monsters are real, though their sounds may be invisible
Sometimes from my bed, I can hear a low growling
Is it a gruesome howl, or an area of grey
Loud sounds, low sounds, sounds all around

Monsters can appear when no one is around
Ghouls in a dream can set off thoughts of alarm
Colorful dream scenes might turn to grey
Sweet slumbers manifest into something scary
Mewing kittens and yipping puppies are now growling
Ghastly creatures suddenly appear after being invisible

What is that smell, is it gas that's invisible
It seems to penetrate the air all around
I know it's a monster because I can hear it growling
It's not a house gas, since I hear no alarm
The scent is of evil darkness, making it's appearance more scary
I am beginning to detect the hint of shadowy grey

The monsters aren't easy to see, when the night already looks so grey
They blend in so well, almost being completely invisible
I wish the night could be bright, and not shadows so scary
Shadows blend into each other, the more I look around
Watching and listening, the silence is as loud as an alarm
My heart quickens as I hear the sound of a neighbor's dog growling

Chilling noises in my head..Screams shrieking, boards creaking, and wolves growling
The hairs on my arms stand on edge, and my skin turns grey
Something touches my arm, and I jump in alarm
I feel a grabbing at my ankle, but the being is invisible
There's no one here, though loneliness is around
The Spooky sensations I'm feeling are nothing less than scary

The noises of the darkness still sound so scary
All this time, I can still hear a low growling
Loud sounds, low sounds, sounds all around
Is it really a gruesome howl, or an area of grey
Monsters are real, though their sounds may be invisible
Eerie sounds in the night always bring alarm

Scary monsters are real, sound the alarm
If you hear a growling, know that the monsters are around
Remember they can be invisible in the shadows of grey
