Taps

I felt a touch on my shoulder

But when I turned, no one was there.

I continued my walk and felt another tap,

Again no one was there.

 

I arrived home safe and sound,

But pondered those mysterious taps.

Since there was no visible evidence,

It was better that I not dwell it.

 

For weeks those taps were on my mind.

Was I just imagining what tapped my shoulder?

I could not mention it to anyone,

Less they think I was a bit off my head

But now you have… and the whole world knows! Creepiness makes for good writing.

At first I thought you were writing about Taps. Whenever my father wanted to play Taps at family get-togethers on his CCC camp bugle (I still have it), my grandmother would tell him not to, remembering the horrors of World Wars I and II.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
