Poem

He forgot to padlock the cellar door
Perhaps now I can discover
What it is he does below our kitchen floor
That he keeps secret from my mother.

I flick the switch but find no light
That just inflames this kittens curiosity
So I descend the stairs into the dead of night
Now lurking far below me .

A spider scurries across my hand
Then I hear the scurrying of mice
Too late for screams, I've played my hand
If I lose I pay the price.

I feel around the cellar wall
My eyes desperate to adjust
Longing to hear my mother call
but continue on I must.

Wait! Wait! what is this?
Another switch I've found
Light flickers in this dark abyss
I hear my own heart pound.

that step ladder should not be there
What are you hiding dad?
I want to look but do I dare
Its then I see that I've been had.

Devilish faces jump out at me
I scream and turn to run
Then I hear them laughing hysterically
and there stood dad with mum.


Poem inspired by viewing a painting by Stephanie Deshpande
entitled , ''Exploring the cellar ''
