I've never been one, for being afraid
or running away from a fight,
but I shiver with fear, whenever I hear
things that go bump in the night.

You can call me a fool, but if I hear a ghoul
creaking it's foot on the stair,
I'm outta that place, at double quick pace
you're not going to keep me in there.

I know they're not real, it's just how I feel
we all have our crosses to bear,
at the first chilly breeze, I'm down on my knees
reciting the words of a prayer.

If I saw a ghost, what would frighten me most
would be if they noticed me too,
I'd probably faint, to see summat that aint
something you shouldn't see through.

The worst thing I've seen, in life or on screen
is a poltergeist turning her head,
I kept on the light, for many a night
and always checked under my bed.

You may laugh and scoff, if it's spooky I'm off
at the first sign of something not right,
it's true what I've said, I'm afraid of the dead
and things that go bump in the night....

Thank you. It's nice to be here, I have been reading some excellent work on here. I hope people will enjoy my poetry as much as I have enjoyed reading theirs.

Pleased to meet you, Stephen! You WILL enjoy it here, and you can take that to the bank. I've been here...12 years now...in four days time.

Hmmmm...and I was something like #193 in membership back then!

Okay, first thing .. don't go in Namyh's friend's basement.  Don't go.  No.  Scarey place - you can read it in her poem if you haven't already.

Second, I too, like your poem and how it rhymes - okay, honestly?  I am jealous.  Okay.  I am big enough to admit such petty longings.

Finally, welcome to PiP.  I am so glad that you are here and can't wait to read more of your poetry so I can become even more jealous.

Thank you for sharing.
