Living Tomb
*My first try at an Acrostic poem. I hope it is successful and creates a fearsome image.
She screeched until her voice was gone
Crying heavy tears that left clean trails behind them
Ripping at the stone walls until her fingers bled
Escape wavered like a mirage in the future
As she stared at the opening above her
Mocking her, it leered back from on high
Showing her the only way out of her nightmare
Obdurate in its inanimate state
Fear wracked her soul in a twisted cord illusion
Trembling, she begged to be set free
Eerie silence loomed above her living tomb
Realizing she was not heard willingly
Removed from the one who forced her there
Only time will tell when they return
Ready to finish the job they started

I think this is very interesting and quite excellent.
Nightmare state-twisted cord illusion – free- living tomb and ended with returned/started really brings up some interesting birth/rebirth imagery for me. Nicely done.
Screams of Terror: mission accomplished
I think you did a great job. It definitely works as you intended!
Definitely a fearsome image that leaves me worried about the welfare of the speaker. Just terrifying.
