One Scary Night
Darkness started to overshadow the light as evening descended upon this part of town. Eyes
took notice of change but yet at times were drawn to something distant, moving within the
shadows. Apparitions? No, that cannot be, for that would mean ghosts. But who? Whose soul
wanders, not finding true destination, the light?
Upon this darkened eve, a chill
Within the corner goes, my eye
Outside, a noise, a scary shrill
With vision here, I’m paralyzed
I’m drawn to it by sound it makes
A humming lull, sounds like a boo
But from me now, no fear it takes
As I just don’t know what to do
Approach it, yes, I’ll take that chance
With hopes good will, it will then share
Yet, it leaves me now within this stance
For touching it, I shall not dare
Oh, evil spirit, if thou so be
Please now depart before I see
