Who's There Disintegrating into the shore And the wind is never seen anymore Waves tell you it's coming Branches sing by humming Tubes start by haunting And mimic a wolfs howling Slamming shutters peak your attention But the sounds of voices you won't mention The wind knows you're alone Slipping through doors by a moan You are aware "Who's there?" You ask the question in fear An answer you don't want to hear Convinced it's the wind But still your heart races within You start to talk to yourself While returning the book to the shelf "Did I lock the door?" Overwhelmed of being unsure You try to leave the room Suction traps you like a tomb But you remember the windows are closed Now your breath is froze You shake the door to death "LET ME OUT OF HERE!!"with one breath Suddenly the lights go out And a stale smell about You jump on the bed and lay stiff A strange feeling you're starting to lift The door opens and your heart begins to race Shocked as you recognize your own face |

"Who's There"…. is a take off from a poem that I did in Open 7 called… "The Grim-Reaper" ______________________________ The Grim-Reaper The Grim-Reaper walks these halls Luring quitters with his calls Unsuspecting arrivals with no choice Smell the staleness of his voice His castle becomes your home Unaware that you're there to roam Walking in limbo you catch a whiff Enter a room to see yourself lying-in stiff _______________________________ |

Wow, did you ever capture the feeling of being home alone at night, when things go bump. I could feel the panic here. LOL Been there more times than I'd like to remember. Excellent job! <*\\\>< I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future. |

SpitFire…Thank you SpitFire Being home alone can be spooky when you just sit and listen to all the little noises around you especially when the wind travels through your castle. Don't forget to look under the bed? WhtDove…Thank you WhtDove You're not alone!! You have Passions to keep you company. Better check anyway?  |

Yeah, well, I'm gonna be sure my wife answers the door the rest of the month! Me, I'll guard the rear...be ready to run for help, and all that. Really neatly done! Liked it much! Haven't even thought of Halloween being so close yet. Guess it's time, huh...don't want to be caught unaware... jwesley |
