Freak Out

A darkened room
    sickly light
  Sense the fright
    near midnight

  Creaky door
    cracks in floor
  Hoot-owl screams
    Poof! go dreams 

  Full Moon hovers
    duck under covers
  Witches stream by
    blacken the sky

  Goblins prowl
    nasty howls
  Ghosts in sheets
    haunt the streets

  Black cats screech
    Spiders reach --
  There's no doubt
    I'm freaked out

This scary, suspenseful poem would be a perfect companion to the song, 'Bad Moon Rising,' by Creedence Clearwater Revival. It's fun and nicely written. :)
