Shadow Chasing

-----

This is an entry for MadHattersSociety's  Childhood Fears Contest!The new contest is as much of a challenge as it is a contest. The theme is "Childhood Fears." Was it the sound of a train in the night, before you knew what trains were? A shadow on the wall at a certain time of day? Something from a movie that you were too young to see? Maybe even a children's story that spooked you; the Brothers Grimm were pretty grim.
The idea is to represent that fear in your chosen field of art/literature. The more edgy, off-balance, and surreal it is, the better the chance of winning. The contest will run through January first, 2015, so you'll have plenty of time. Don't procrastinate, though, get to creating!
So far the prizes are 200 points for first pace, 150 for second, and 100 for third in each category. There will be two categories, one for visual art and one for literature.  (more points will be added as donations come in)
:iconprettyflour: is donating a feature for the winners in her personal journal and in the journ, which you should all totally go check out!

Ahem. When I was little, I had a thing for a year or so about witches. They terrified me; I always thought there was one hiding in my room. So yeah, here you be--a poem about a witch, in the SHAPE of a witch. I'm so clever.
