The Cry in the Corridor

Tonight, I can't sleep
First nights in new places are Insomnia's best friend
Big houses make a lot of noise
Creeks and thumps
It's scary, the things that go bump in the night
Wind Whistles through the hall
The corridors cry
Or is that just me?

In my hosted chat the other night, the topic was "Blocking out Writer's Block: Excersises to inspire creativity". The excersise was "Find a book WITH CHAPTER TITLES. Turn to chapter 5. Use the chapter title as the title for your poem." The book I used was "The Secret Garden", and the chapter title was "The Cry in the Corridor". This was the result. Enjoy!
