Sandra Haight Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Loved the Scare

Loved The Scare


By lamplight, she at night escapes

into her scary world of books.

There she can hide behind dark drapes

inside a mystery that hooks

and throws her right inside the plot.

Soon, ghastly scenes make her aware

her stable world, to leave, cannot.

She slams book closed- but loved the scare.
