Ancient House

There’s an eclipse of a full moon tonight Shining down upon a cemetery There is an old tree growing there by night Surrounding fence is quite old and rusty Within the fence is a decrepit sight An ancient house, haunted, dark and scary Ghostly noises coming from deep within Causing fear to those that pass by again Russell Sivey

I hope that I don't pass by..Has there been an eclipse of the moon lately?...Up the road from our home, a man cleared some land that had been grown over for years part of it was Privet Hedge..That whole place is covered with ragweed..The person went in there and mowed down about a third of it and quit..I don't know if he got sick or if something else happened...Thanks for stopping by..Sara

well, I have seen most of your new crop of halloween poems today. How do you write, Russell? at the computer or with pen and paper? I think it's so much more relaxing to write not at the computer!
