Jenna Logan Poet Rhyme

Halloween Stalker

While trick or treating in my black cat disguise
I had an eerie feeling that I was being followed 
by a scary Jack-O-Lantern with glowing red eyes
His pumpkin head had been cleverly hollowed

He was ten steps behind me on every street
My heartbeat accelerated. I panicked in fright
Boldly, he ensued without trying to be discreet!
I had to escape this stalker on Halloween night

I hid among dense bushes of old run down house
hoping he'd continue walking and leave me alone
I held my breath, trying to be as quiet as a mouse
when a whirring noise erupted from my cell phone

A hand covered my mouth til I thought I'd smother.
Then he said, "It's just me...Jack. Your big brother!"

The sinister intrigue of your poem captivated my imagination and I loved the surprise twist at the end. Best wishes for a win.. ~Susan Jenna Logan October 15, 2020 at 2:15 PM Mine, too! Thanks for liking this one so much, Susan. It was one of those that didn't go in the direction I had intended it to go.

Tania Kitchin October 13, 2020 at 3:03 AM I enjoyed your captivating poem with a cute surprising ending! Jenna Logan October 13, 2020 at 3:43 AM Thank you, Tania. She was frightened enough by that stalker, so I allowed her to stay intact. lol

Tom Cunningham October 13, 2020 at 12:46 AM Phew, sigh of relief Jenna. I love humourous verse, although in reality it wouldn't be funny if Jason was lurking about in his scary mask. Hope your week going well. Tom Jenna Logan October 13, 2020 at 3:42 AM Good day to you, Tom. My week is super fine so far, and my hope is that yours is, too. Thanks for the visit. I wasn't in the mood for a Halloween murder, or I guess I could've just had that creep steal her candy. lol I just write what comes to mind.
