Blackout Poetry - River of Darkness

Today is Day 28 of National Poetry Month. My sister Cassandra prompted me and our fellow poets in No Direction Home, a Facebook group of poets and writers, to write a blackout poem based off of page 74 in George R. R. Martin's book A Game of Thrones. You can find my sister's blackout poem on her blog. Here is a copy of the original page before I wrote my blackout poem:

River of Darkness

By Candace Shultz

The stars came out.

Silver bells rang softly.

It was full dark

at a place beside a small stream.

She felt as fragile as glass,

as weak as water.

Helpless and trembling,

she began to cry.

He towered over her,

a river of darkness,

unmoving,

silent.

The night air was chilly.

She was afraid.
