The Haunting
THE HAUNTING
I lie in bed listening, there it is again,
A scratching sound, scraping on wood and then,
A moaning ,woeful wind pressing and trying the bedroom door !
With a soundless ease, it opens and a gaping space of black enters.
My heart beats loudly and races even more !
Seconds pass and then I feel it, a black mass, in a black shape hovering to the side of my bed,
I scream and I pull the white ,shroud-like covers tight
Over my head!
I will not look, I will not look,
Ahhh, its morning !
