Starlight Matis Poet Enclosed Rhyme

Haunted Home

Built for a priest in the twenties 
moved up from the ground
my house traveled across the road and was bound
with a cold basement as cool as the breeze.

A deacon or priest,
may reside in my home
their spirit must roam 
apart from the newly deceased.

Maybe it's real
maybe it's not
maybe a ghost resides on this lot
the basement gives off an eerie feel.

There's only one way to know
but I'm a bit scared
but no ghost has ever dared
to go
where the cool breeze doesn't blow.

2nd place in the "haunted" contest

Darlene De Beaulieu September 26, 2019 at 12:04 PM Hello Astrid Boneck, so nice to meet you. Yes that is spooky. In a house I use to live in with my husband, was haunted as well. I would hear a voice calling my name from the basement. I would go down to see if anyone was there So I do understand spooky. , and no one was there. Have a nice day my friend. Starlight Matis September 27, 2019 at 10:43 AM That's scary! I asked my parents why the basement is so cold even in summer, they don't know. Our landlord doesn't know either.
