Hush Now, My Little One
Submission for IronAge Media's prompt, "The Harlequin." Image from IronAge.
Hush now, my Little One,
Hear footsteps in the hall.
Take heed, my Little One,
A shadow on the wall.
Be strong, my Little One,
He’s creeping, drawing near.
Be brave, my Little One,
He feeds upon your fear.
The End,
God bless
Even though this is scary, it feels like (in a way) a rallying cry. Really good read!
Love the art but the verse's better. Nice work.
