haunted

Halloween is my favorite holiday. Imagine...people roaming the streets wearing masks. lol.


haunted

 

Oh, he chilled my heart

Cloak hugged tight

Hood up and shady

Downcast eyes,

At first

But when he cut them upward

They bore

Into

My soul

The pit of my stomach

Raped

My sense

Of

Security

One minute

There

The next,

Gone

Spiritual…huh,

It’s damn-well scary,

That’s what it is

Startling…

Heart-stopping…

Yet, fascinating

 

Can you see him?

Hovering there

Lurking…

Skulking…

Damn is that unsettling!

 

Relax…

You’re just tired

Ghosts

Don’t exist

If they did,

Why would they

Waste their time

Pestering

You?

What makes you

So damn

Special?

 

Can you see him?

Please…

Tell me you see him

Please…

See him

Can anyone

See

Him?

This is such a clever poem, laced with suspense and all the right evocations and reactions for the season.

oh my being haunted is serious stuff,scary too,
this captures the spirit of all hallows eve,Sheila!;-)
Reviewed by Kate Burnside 10/2/2009
this dangles precariously between the chasm of real and surreal, Sheila, taking our thoughts and emotions over the edge. Smacks of paranoia, too. Actually, I feel for those who DO feel pretty unhinged and vulnerable around the Halloween time, myself. You capture the tantalisingly, teasingly wicked and abutt it deftly against the dangerous. xx
Reviewed by Jeanette Cooper 10/2/2009
This is really cute--and a little scary--and also a great send-off for the coming of Halloween. Nicely done, Shelia.
Reviewed by George Carroll 10/2/2009
Glad I haven't had that experience yet. Spooky and well suited for Halloween where whitches roam and children hide.
