A Haunted House

imagine any haunted house to have: Creaking stairways Whispering blinds Creepy doorways Blood-curdling sounds Spooky cob-webs Ominous darkness Ghastly shadows Dreadful loneliness Spine tingling shrieks Owls hooting Things that make Your skin crawl Foreboding terror An eerie silence yet squeaky rats A threatening suspense with fluttering bats. Thus a place crawling with, oversized gnats scurrying brats and all kinds of scary things lurking about except for scaredy-cats . Like me of the fraidy cats Tell me would you dare to venture Into such a house For a halloweenish midnight adventure ? (Ok happened to pass an allegedly haunted abandoned house that most people don't want to venture in and I enjoyed scarifying myself thinking about it in the poetic way above for fun) YIKES, I'M ALREADY SCARED.!

It was great fun to read this haunting poem once again, especially at this time of the year with Halloween rapidly approaching... Very good work, my friend :)

Hello zaynab … but wouldn't you like to investigate on a windy moonlit night. Might be interesting to watch a real life ghostly movie - thanks zaynab - Lindsay

I might venture inside such a house, but not if I were alone ... I really enjoyed your haunting poem and the spooky atmosphere it creates in my mind... Great work my friend!

I probably would venture into it just for curiosity. Well done, your house has just about everything.

Hi! Halloween is my favorite holiday! Your poem really captures the essence of a haunted house. I've been to one in Cali.

Hi Zaynab, there are so many haunted houses in this world of ours. Some do look the part, setting our minds to contemplate some dark images. I would always go into a hauted house. Your write has such wonderful imagery. Indeed, your words paint the heart of a haunted house onto your canvas. Such a wonderful write my friend. Have a very Happy New Year. Hugs....Mike. XX

I do love haunted houses; they've so many stories to tell if you can handle your hairs standing on end. An enjoyable poem.

I loved your Halloween 'frolic' - a total delight to read and - no, I would not go in. I'm an official wimp and not ashamed of it! Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Nice Halloween Ode. A pagan festival. This is not what God did on the 7th day for sure. Thank you for reading my poem on that 7th day adventure. I am sure that we have different belief system and that is the blessing of pluralism. Kindest wishes to you, Kai

Oversized gnats, scrurrying bats, and scaredy-cats. This makes for a sweet poem which with a little adjusting, S. you could set to music!

I too, like a good scare; yes a good haunted house would have all of those things, I think although, I've never been fond of cobwebs. I truly enjoyed this read; thanks for haunting our Soup.

There was a house in my neighborhood when I was young that was rumored to be haunted. It was abandoned and looked like what you might imagine a haunted house to be...none of us were brave enough to enter. : ) Nicely done.
