First of all, I have never released a poem anywhere. I posted this here because... well, it's in english? English isn't my mother tongue, and tell me if there are any language mistakes etc.
The poem goes on like a tanka-poem, or at least trying.

This poem isn't finished, this is like the part one. Don't ask the meaning of this, I just had a picture of a little girl, meeting a skeleton in a grocery store. :D


The Skeleton Man

As she walks in her
favourite grocery store
looking for her mom,
she hears a sound from her back.
Somewhat clinking sound she hears.

Reading magazines
there's a skeleton man and
she sees him clearly;
she has a cylinder hat
on top of his skull all white.

The girl, when taking
two steps forward, doesn't say
a word; both are quiet.
The skeleton man sees her
and stretches his hand towards.

The girl is not scared,
but very interested, yes.
Her little hand, in
the hand of skeleton man's,
isn't shaking any more.

"This is just a dream"
the girl thinks at the moment
when everything turns
into the brightest starsky.
They fly inside shooting stars.

The skeleton man
is always smiling with his
unforgetable
smile, and the happy eyes of
his are full of emptiness.

He shows her a place
that is nothing but diamonds.
When she picks up one,
her hand seems to disappear;
she becomes invisible.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. [Hebr. 11:1]

Very... different.
Take it like you gave it; what else matters in the end? To be honest, it's all a one-shot test; that leaves plenty of places to go wrong, but how will you ever know? There's a pointer, I will admit. Turn it on, listen to it, feel it burn.
