Everything worries me I guess. Certainly hearing footsteps behind me on a dark sidewalk would frighten me. I'd be thinking all those things: monsters, ghosts, crazed killers, drunken grannies out to roll a guy, lol.

Is there any feeling better than finally surviving a frightening situation? Goodness, there are so many scary moments in life, not all of them with deathly consequences, but they all have that great relief in common. When you are finally safe there is this great relief that comes over you nd a tingling up your spine. Anyway, that is what this poem does, it reminds the reader of that feeling.

The opening rhyme is fun and well executed and helps set the poem up for the fun and eeriness that follows. The rhymes flow naturally and you don't pretend that they are anything but what they are. You don't try to force them in ways that they shouldn't be written, and that is a big thing for it makes the poem seem natural. While the meter might be off at ties, that is a small thing, over-all I really enjoyed the poem.
