Old Abandoned House -Halloween

it’s got me in it’s cold fanatic grip

still able to quip the foes

but finding the prose

far too inadequate

to describe what I felt inside

and went through tonight

in that old abandoned house

whether it was a mouse

or a barn owl

I sure as hell

got the hell scared out of me

let it be, I think, but I don’t

part of me won’t let go of the hope

that there’s something out there 

creepier than I’ve ever seen

happy halloween

thanks for the share, I sleep usually these later years through the Hallow's Eve, but you brought back the kid in this old man... (:D))
