 Uploaded with ImageShack.us Well it is getting close to Halloween . . . Rain had left the lawn soaked and wet, The house was dark inside. The floor groaned: someone was within Among the dark to hide. I stood still, shadowed by the trees 'Twas a warm June night. The house was locked as though to sleep, Oh, for a flashlight; bright. Were they watching me from within? I will confess unease. Suddenly I knew they were gone, Left softer than a breeze. While I cowered beneath the trees, Nothing moved, all serene. Though they had left somehow I knew, 'Twas a poltergeist scene. ©September 17, 2012 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Thanks, RV, I'm surprised you didn't "get" me for my Mitt remark. Tells me you are a class act. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

ohhh really enjoyed the cadence in this one Jerry.. it crept along just right with the word choices using their width to bump the other ones to the edge.. ayyeeekk.. not a big fan of skeerdy things especially at night and when theirs some weather going on to boot.. that polergeist movies was so awesome though.. ill have to admit.. i kind of belive in such things.. enough to not eating pea soup without closing my eyes now hahaahh yeah i know, different movie but still you get my drift right.. good stuff here buddy.. yeah.. gonna have to maybe attempt to write something scary before hollow weenie night hahah well done!  |
