Jack Horne Poet Rhyme

Possessed

It started with a Ouija board:
it seemed like harmless fun,
the messages at first benign -
it said it was a nun!
Obsessed, I spent more time with it
but scary stuff began:
I heard a laugh, saw shadows move
and knew it was a man.
The figure stepped towards me then
and rooted to the spot,
I felt it push inside my brain,
my body cold, but hot.
"And that was how I killed the girls."
The judge just shook his head.
"I swear I woke and saw the blood...
the prostitutes were dead..."
