Notes About The Poem

Summer Thrills and Chills

The tea party guests were warmly welcomed,
By Frankenstein and his just-married bride.
All their nearest new neighbors had come,
To their quaint estate in the countryside.

The refreshments were utterly delectable,
The cakes and cookies so moist and sweet;
But unease among the guests was detectable,
Lending chills to the golden August heat!

Host and hostess were witty and charming,
But there were stitches upon her forehead;
And the screws in his skull were alarming-
Pale excuses were made ere the guests fled!


Written just for fun, and not for the contest

WoW! Evelyn, Nice content, rhymes, and imagery. I really enjoyed your well-written tale from start to finish. When I read your final stanza, I chuckled because I could just picture them high tailing it out of there. Well done. Have a great day and week, my friend:-) Alexis

A fun poem. Can imagine Frankenstein with bolts in his skill and the stitches in madame's forehead. I would have fled too.
