2024 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 15
For today’s prompt, write a nameless faceless poem. I admit that today’s prompt might feel a little more elusive than others I share this month, but I kind of like the ambiguity of a vague nameless faceless person, place, idea, etc. Someone or something shrouded in shadow, fog, smoke, what-have-you. Have at it, poets!
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at a Nameless Faceless Poem:
“the only thing to fear,” by Robert Lee Brewer
i don’t know what it is
that stalks me at night
beneath electric light
& the moon shining
through a few wisps
of cloud like curtains
& i’m certain someone
or something lurks
behind the bushes
around the corner
waiting only for me
to find it alone.
