In The Dark

A Dectina Refrain and a short poem
for Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt.
Word requirement is 65, prompt word is “tap”.

Tap
tapping
on my door.
Who can it be?
Itโ€™s too dark to see
but the noise just wonโ€™t stop.
I get up from the sofa
and tippy toe to the front door;
peek through the window but no oneโ€™s there.
Tap tapping on my door. Who can it be?

Noise from outside.
Itโ€™s too dark to see.
No place to hide.
Stop watching me!
