Poetic Captions: Sock Monster

It's Friday and you know what the means POETRY! Today we are visited by the mysterious and perhaps even dangerous sock monster. 

Sock Monster

The door was open

For only a second

But that’s all it took

For it to slide out

Leaving its partner behind

Inch by inch

It crawled

Across the laundry floor

Inch by inch

It went

Down the hall

To my bedroom door

Knock. Knock. Knock.

“Who’s there?” I squeaked.

I didn’t dare get out of bed

Cr-e-e-e-a-k

Was the only reply

Then that horrible sound started again…

Pee-Yew!

Inch by inch

It crawled

Across my bedroom floor

Inch by inch

It went

Up the wooden post.

I shook and shook

Under my blanket of fleece

I didn’t dare uncover my head

Inch by inch

It crawled

I reached a hand out

Turned the lamp on

Plop!

There it lay

At the foot my bed

My brother’s smelly out sock

Pee-Yew!

I hid under the covers again


What kind of sock monster lives at your house? What does he/she do all day?
