John Loving Iii Poet Narrative

Greetings

Welcome comrads 
ghost and ghouls
tis the bewitching hour 
the time of our rule
let us be shadows 
and eyes in the night
let us give the living 
a hell of a fright
be not kind 
to little boys and girls
step into their dreams 
make them all screem
be not friends 
to sissys and cowards
visit each one 
hour after hour
and when you see someone alone
keep them company 
but be not shown
a glimps of a shadow
a bump in the night
a chill in the wind
a mysterious light
make them believe that noise
is not a mouse
and give them the greif of living 
in a haunted house

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen July 19, 2009 at 3:17 AM John, I enjoyed this spooky poem. I'm laughing. We lived in a hounted house for 15 years!!! The ole radio would come on downstairs when no one was there. Guests from my daughters' slumber parties heard steps behind them on the stairs. Someone grabbed my leg as I went down those stairs, too. And guess who it was. One of those ghost frightened girls and a crowd of laughter. Have a great day! Lovingly, Dane
