YELLOW

Bright and cheerful yellow Conceals the secrets in two that door To the left the dark chasm I do abhor To the right the blackness so dark as To be purple swirling in a circle Around unseen gnashing teeth Retreat as a yellow canary into its cage One more time away from the rage Over the closet door and within was The attic Closed by hooks to hold in the Manic Th the final door opening to the Hallway To the safety of my brothers room Though there was a hall light There was still a threatening gloom As the shadow of a man looms
