Bump in the Night


I woke in the night
filled with dread,
something was hiding
under my bed!

I was very brave
and took a look -
oh, how silly,
I dropped my book.

I turned off the light,
went back to sleep,
and that's when it got me -
the monster sheep.

  5. I am positive I had creatures living in my closet when I was a kid. My sister and I shared a room and she made sure I would always remember they were there.
    Love your verse and the display..

  34. Your creations are always fun. I like how the same eyes convey two different emotions when the face is exposed differently.

  35. Those sheep monsters are the worst! Your little rabbit looks very cosy in her sardine tin bed.
    Have you ever thought of compiling your crafts and stories into a book, Amalia? They are so charming.

  36. This is exactly why I got rid of my "under the bed" by getting the platform bed!
