You were at a very impressionable age when you saw that movie which was meant for your young eyes. That was a cruel trick your siblings played. I suggest you confront them with the damage they did. I'm sure a hypnotherapist could help you conquer this. Maybe take that fake hand and burn it-in your mind, if need be. Or visualize the fangs of a dog biting it.

Those were some good suggestions, I can't talk to my siblings though as they have both since passed away. Thanks for taking time to read and review.
Comment from The kurlman
It's funny how a movie in our young lives can stay with us for a lifetime. You wrote an interesting poem. It was quite believable. I would rather have it in black and white, it would be easier to read. Good luck, in the contest. The kurlman

I think you are right about the word color, white would have showed up much better. Thank you for taking time to read and review my poem, I really appreciate it.

This is a cool little poem indeed. That hand might belong to cousin It from the Adam's family. Just saying... I really enjoyed this poem very much. Thanks again for sharing.

We all have our things. My sister thought she saw a foot in the basement when she went down to do laundry the one night. You did a great job with this and I would also be frightened of a hand just hanging out. Like I said my sister had a foot.

Thanks for taking the time to read and review. I know exactly how your sister felt! Foot, hand, any assorted body parts are scary if they aren't attached. Thanks again for your comments.
