Thanks :)

That was supposed to be 'almost there'. I realized after I wrote that it might be hard to tell what it was supposed to be. Ah well :)

Yeah, actually I used darkness later on, I hate repeating adjectives. ;)

Dead on, I had to go to sleep in 10 minutes and got the idea for the poem. Usually I run out of steam if I keep it for the next day so I just ran with it (literally, ran).

Now that I look back on it, it could use a few pauses, the pace is too fast for what I'm trying to accomplish.

Yes, I noticed it was a little...pushy. Good nonetheless. And if you don't want to repeat adjectives, instead of blackness, try murkiness, dimness, etc.
www.dictionary.com also has a thesaurus. A writer's best friend is a thesaurus

It's a poem, not a story. It's about whatever you interperet it as.

Shrug, this sort of oddness just jumps to the mind.

Also considered, but it wasn't dim, it was BLACK. Pitch black. :D
