We are the ones that dwell within. The light that shines, the spark from a grin. Here’s Johnny, all smiles and hellos. Such a cheery fellow, that’s how it goes. They’re here to be thrilled, just like last summer. We know what you did as you laughed and played. Splashed and frolicked on hot ocean days. We’re gonna need a bigger boat for all our friends to join. Help me welcome them, help me open my arms, we’re all human beings, together as one. Thrill me with your generosity, trust is a hard thing to come by these days. We all go a little mad sometimes but every dawn is a new day. So welcome to the bright days of summer camp and whatever you do, don’t fall asleep, before having some fun!
This is a prompt from dVerse: “For today’s prompt, I’d like us to throw some light on these lines and take them a different direction. I have compiled a list of some fright flick quotes below and attempted to avoid anything overly gory. Your mission is to choose one as the FIRST line of your poem.”
Not only is a horror movie line my first line there are several throughout the poem. Hope you enjoy! It’s frightening how fun it can be. hehe 😁

I like how you wove the movie lines into that summer-camp chaos, Stuart — “We’re gonna need a bigger boat” made me grin. It’s playfully creepy in the best way.

I’m amazed at how you packed all those lines into your prose poem, Stew. I’ve never been to summer camp, so this was a bit of an adventure for me.

This could be one creepy movie character if it all came from one person! 😂
