Things Go Bump

Phantom ceiling squeaks
impish night owl’s egg and spoon 
race cancelled by ghost
thunder rolls startle 
mischievous sprites in a trance.
spine-tingling plot now unfolds at lightening speed
Milky Way spins an oafish chuckle.

I agree with saras comment below mine. A very nicely descriptive poem for Halloween

Must have been written near Halloween. Very descriptive of scary houses and people. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K
