Haunted Cemetery



          Let me tell your a spooky story ... it begins on a day blue,
in a quiet and peaceful cemetery with many an angel statue.
               I got there late in the afternoon walking past graves old,
as I walked the air seemed to change and I was shivering cold.
There to water flowers I rushed to get it done and leave the dead,
          it was then that I heard the whispering and angels weeping red.
Then came the sighing and crying and it was scary and terrifying,
               this place of the dead, this boneyard was just to horrifying. 
It was becoming gloomy and misty as I passed trees ancient and knotty,
oh dear, there was a spine tingling scream and it had become foggy.
           The iron gate enclosure was locked and now there was snow,
            a ghostly lady said follow me as snowflakes started to blow.

Anaya, thank you for the comment and compliment, appreciate. This is based on a life experience when I got locked in the cemetery and it got dark suddenly then the gates had been locked. My mom had planted flowers and I was going after work to water them ... until that night anyways ! Constance
