Awesome! Either Yoshiboy or wiimaster can edit it, I'll get their attention somehow. In the meantime, I'll add it to the library.

Wait- what about my fan-fiction? Sorry, I didn't get the last sentence you said XD

The ghostly child

She glows with a dull light from within,
And tattered petticoats and plaits
flutter in a non existent breeze.
Her delicate feet rest an inch above the ground,
Her eyes are young yet old beyond age
her lips and tongue move a moment before they sound

She laughs in an echoing way
And ancient eyes glow bright
" Who are you to challenge me?"
she asks in a childish voice both
curious and menacing. She laughs and
goes to touch my brow.

And then i see behind the facade,
i see whats really there
and i am scared
and i am scared
and i am sca- " meow"

Puzzled i look around
i look around and see...
My cat? The thing it screams
the most inhuman sound and
glows and glows and gets so bright-
until there is nothing but the unbearable light.

I flinch, turn away and she is gone.
The slightest murmur in the air,
the only sign of her existence.

i fall back
and wake in wonder...
Was it a dream, or was it real?
"Meow"

How is it?

Another post with example of writing:
He lay, face in the cold bedrock, not that he noticed the temperature. He could only see a sliver of light. His mind grasped at it like a child would with a favourite toy on the top shelf. His mind booted up, taking precious moments. One leg, mangled, lay constricted by rocks. The others bashed but surviving. The streaker drones aligned over his head. He felt their' metallic victory as if it was his own.....
Ran out of characters- awwww!

I'm assuming this is the poem?

[I am having some trouble understanding what is going on in the poem. Could you please elaborate? I got lost when the cat meowed.]

Blue is re-wording, and my notes.
Red is grammar.
Green ins relating rhyme and verse.
