Nadine Hof Poet Rhyme

My Friendly Ghost

While sleeping in my bed one night
I sensed a hint of gloom
A shadow lurking far beneath
And reeking now of doom

I stood upon my sheets so straight
As scratching could be heard
A voice that didn’t sound like me
Was really quite absurd

Howling was the wind so loud
And creaking were the branches
The shadows below my window face
Taunting eerie glances

And then I saw the beast arise
Just past my end bed post
It snarled and raised its head up high
A howled just like a ghost

It jumped at me and so I screamed
So mum ran and turned on the light
I pulled the covers from my head
To see what was the fright

The shadow was much smaller now
And sounded like a cat
Of course it was my whiskers
How was I scared of that?


I curled in bed and off went the light
And cuddled my old cat
No more nonsense sounds were heard
That was the end of that.
