Poem # 10
HAUNTED HOUSE
~
Behold the haunted house
Behold the haunted house
Twisted black branches scrape frosty windows
Twisted black branches scrape frosty windows
Haunted branches scrape
Twisted black house, the frosty windows behold
*
Shutters flap in Autumn winds
Shutters flap in Autumn winds
Dry leaves go skittering by
Dry leaves go skittering by
Shutters in Autumn go skittering
Dry winds flap by leaves
*
Ghosts moan while chains rattle
Ghosts moan while chains rattle
Do you dare enter tonight
Do you dare enter tonight
Do you moan while Ghosts rattle chains
Tonight dare enter
*
Behold, frosty Ghosts, in chains, go skittering by windows
The twisted winds dare scrape you dry
Tonight black Autumn leaves rattle haunted branches
Do enter house, while shutters flap…moan
