The Closet Held Secrets

The closet held secrets his deepest fears It hadn't been opened in nigh on ten years He'd painted it over sealed it so tight its eerie green glow flickered ghost-white A note found years later under the bed Warned of aliens captured their arteries bled Alas, what sick heads some humans possess To tell tales like this ~ grinning skulls bodiless

Great flow and rhythm.... dear gershon. Let the fears locked in the closet remain there ! Like Pandora's box, if opened, they will create havoc

Exactly. Lid on the box; stiff upper lip; no laundry hung out to dry in public. ~ Gershon

The sing-songy cadence of this and it's surprise twist ending are perfect yin and yang. :-)
