I don't really know how to lay a poem out properly, I just go with what I'm feeling at the time. I remember when I first came on abc tales not really having a clue about what a poem should look like, as I'd always just written for...
An accurate description of being in bed at night in the silence and darkness and hearing the pounding of your heartbeat. Sometimes if I lay on my side at night I can hear my heart through my pillow, it's a very strange sensation indeed.

Moments when thoughts and feelings take hold, needing to capture them if only for a poem or a piece of writing, even when they cause anxiety this can be a form of art.
A though provoking poem which captured my imagination.
You've built up the tension brilliantly in this part Richard. Sheldon's situation and how he's feeling really leaves the reader on edge...well! it left me anxious for the boy.
Oh dear! Poor Sheldon. I think getting lost anywhere is a nightmare and very scary, but now he's in big trouble having hurt himself badly and being alone too.
This is such a clever poem

Sheldon's very brave and I'm glad he's been taught well by his dad and Larry. His mum will be frantic when she finds out what he's done.
