Halloween Night - Contest

I am not scared , 
You are not real. 
It’s just a white sheet,
It’s No big deal.

Ha! Cobwebs on the door,
I could turn on the light.
But Why would I check, 
I’m not scared,right?

Shadows on the wall, 
Your funny, brother Joe!
I might just close my eyes,
I’m not interested in his show! 

“Mum I cannot sleep,
I forgot, I have a test
I think I must study,
Plus, I don’t need to rest.”

“Son it is late,
You must go to bed.
Stop worrying about tonight,
Just get to sleep, I said”

“Dad, can you please come here.
My bed seems to be soaked. 
It’s not because I’m scared, I’m tough
It’s because, I’ve been drinking coke”

“No worries son, Let’s change it now.
It’s really no big deal”

“Daddy can you tell the truth, 
Are ghosts and ghouls real?

I like this look at a young child's mind and the way they try to seem more confident than they really are. Cute one.

Hey, I'm not afraid of no ghosts. Let's call the Ghost-busters, just to be safe though. Okay?? Lol :) This is perfect for Halloween. Humorous and scary, all at the same time. ~ Brandy

Hello Mockingbird and Best Halloween Wishes!! (Thanks for your recent read of the "Pilgrim's Ghost" co-written poem that Liam McDaid and I recently posted!!)Yes!! I agree with Winged Warrior -- Ghosts and Ghouls and other "creatures of the night" are real (or at least appear real to our subconscious). The Scarier, The Better!! Best Wishes, Gary
