Kim Rodrigues Poet Footle

Ghosts-You Bet

friend’s bet…
   a threat

d r e a r y
          e e r i e

haunted
daunted

             gate creaks
                  fear speaks

alone
no phone

old house -
ghosts rouse?

             unlatch
                strike match

dark throws
shadows

a dame
in frame
               eyes dart!
        my heart…

   loud wail
i bail!

back off
bets off

rafter -
            laughter

Jeff Kyser March 18, 2022 at 12:52 PM nice job with the formatting - I particularly like the "d r e a r y // e e r i e" effect on slowing down the reading. Kim Rodrigues March 18, 2022 at 1:45 PM Thank you, Jeff, and for enjoying the slow down effects.
