Dr. Upma A. Sharma Poet Sonnet

Spooky Night

Spooky night




When on a dark rainy night,
Moon had cheated the sky,
No twinkle of stars in sight,
Scare was at its peak high !

Faster as I walked very vigilant,
Closer heard the footsteps follow,
Palpitations turned me intolerant,
Came trepidation, could not swallow,

Reflection veiled causing a gallop,
All of my strength as if it took,
Science and logic seemed a big flop,
Overpowered soon by the fictive spook,

My systems underwent absolute shutdown,
Beyond scope of thinking or a frown !
