Three Haunted Houses

Everyone’s heard about the three houses That reside at the end of the dark street Seems just candles are ever lit inside And shadows wander all about this beat There is always some sort of ghoulish sounds Coming from the confines of this building Ghosts are said to come rampaging the street During all hours of the night, house stalking It is said the residents of these homes All committed vile suicide one night Halloween night, done in a ritual So they may live always and scare with fright Ghosts of their long past, they may kill at will Thus all the residents of the street fear The group of evil beings that just prowl On Halloween nights, their souls do appear The neighbors all leave on Halloween night For they know the ghosts will kill them all there In their sleep or even awake they’ll strike All the lights are out this night of terror But they can be heard at any distance Their voices of anger and pain exist Only by the next morning is it safe Evil has subsided leaving a mist

Reality or fiction doesn't matter, the poetry we read counts and you ,Russell, are a master on the subject! All things are possible and we know so little!

Russell , some of your poems make me wonder if you are writing about real haunted houses. Or is it all fiction? I bet you have your share of haunted places over there!!!
