Wizard - One Hot Summer Night

It was late in August, on a hot summer’s night, When I encountered the most horrible fright. The drapes hung freely over each window, Head nestled deeply in the goose down pillow. I heard a soft rustle near the edge of my bed, So I looked up quickly, and saw a young women’s head. She was ghostly transparent, reached out her hand. Her speech was muffled, so I could not understand. I slipped in the covers, I am not sure why. She scared the pajamas off me, I cannot deny. After a few minutes, she just floated away, But I will never forget, what happened that day. drapes/pillow/edge/muffled/slipped/deny

I enjoyed reading your poetry this morning Greg. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. I am going to see if I can write something for a couple contests this weekend. Hope you find the inspiration to do the same. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours. Love, Carol
