Haunted House



Lost in the woods, I felt a strange dread
from old manor, webs turned  bloody red...
panting ... darting;  my  ripped skirt gave  way
as eerie hoots screamed ;  voices astray...

Glancing at the macabre of a house
beaten grasses stuck on deadly louse--
O chilling view...till my knotted hair
untangled from branches'  threadbare lair--

Haunted, this place was  the host of carnage
one gruesome tale from November's page!
