Terry Flood Poet Rhyme

Haunted House - For One Night In a Haunted Manor

Haunted House

No mist, no moon, no creepy room
No broken pane, no wicker broom
No portrait eyes that seem to move
No finger nails scratching a groove
No spider dangling on a strand
No creeping of a severed hand
No butler with an evil stare
No creaking door, no flying chair
No howling from the fireplace
No spectral phantom saying grace
No rusty hinge, no creaking stair
No hatchet sunk in blood soaked hair
No guests, no staff, no passers by
No copper with a gouged out eye
No heroine to be bereft
No one to eat...

...No one left!

Line Gauthier January 4, 2019 at 9:53 PM Well penned, Terry. Terry Flood January 5, 2019 at 2:55 AM Thankyou Line, and, thanks to Ed Morris, now error free (I hope).

Ed Morris January 4, 2019 at 8:24 PM P.S.: I'm pretty sure you meant heroine, not heroin. :-) Terry Flood January 5, 2019 at 2:54 AM You’re absolutely correct. Well done for spotting my... er... deliberate mistake. All duly corrected.

Ed Morris January 4, 2019 at 8:13 PM Good one, Terry. Hope you don't go too hungry. :-) Terry Flood January 4, 2019 at 8:16 PM It’s too soon to say... but maybe, just maybe.... I got my mojo back... thanks for your comment Ed.
