Halloween Terror laydeluck: I heard the leaves a rustling on that cold October night, The goblins were astirring, their costumes quite the fright The trees like eerie monsters with their bony hands outstretched Imagination running wild, not a thing seemed too farfetched. A scary movie on TV, two candles cast their glow A cat or two a screeching, from where, I do not know Husband's snore, a floorboard creak, was that a little groan? Could feel the apprehension... Damn Halloween, alone. And then a bang upon the door, my heart forgot to beat Rattled to my very core, I stood on leaden feet And there beheld, at my front door grotesque in yellow din A creature, whose inhuman voice said to let it in My very breath ceased to be, my heart froze in my chest From somewhere came a heavy weight and laid upon my breast I stumbled two steps backward, felt two hands upon my back... And as I fainted, husband said... "It’s just your brother Jack!" By Sandy lee © 2017Sandy lee (All rights reserved) | poems Chat Room Similar Conversations |
