Notes About The Poem

For Tania Kitchin's the 'Haunted House, Haunted Cemetery or Haunted Woods 16 Lines of Rhyme' Poetry Contest

Haunted Woods

Into the depths of Haunted Woods
I warn you not to ever go.
Rumor has it some have seen
therein a strange and blueish glow.

Most hasten out – not venturing
to find the source of that strange gleam.
From those who dared to go to it
was heard a very frightened scream.

They screamed but once; then all was still,
and witnesses have this to say:
those souls so bold that ventured forth
have not been seen yet to this day.

But there’s a strange phenomenon.
When that odd light appears again
it’s bluer than it was before.
Observers feel a bit insane!
