2022 April PAD Challenge: Day 28
Write a poem every day of April with the 2022 April Poem-A-Day Challenge. For today’s prompt, write a sight poem.
For today's prompt, write a sight poem. We've already done smell, taste, sound, and touch; so we're tying the sensory poems up today. I'm looking forward to all the sight-related poem.
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at a Sight Poem:
"foresight"
there are some things you just can't unsee
in scary movies but what's worse are things
you can't see--the nothing that lurks alone
in the darkness & my daughter tells me she's
afraid of black & white television & movies
even if they're happy because of what could
be hiding in the dark places ready to jump
scare everything that you just can't unsee
