Trick Or Treat

After the day’s work I was off to bed. From behind my room, I heard a fierce thud. It sounded so scary. It left me so weary. I got up from my bed in severe dread. In dim light, saw a ghost outside my room I felt it was portending my sure doom. Did not know where to hide. In air it seemed to glide. All I got to defend me was my broom. Wholly puzzled and perplexed as I stood, I found it was a piece of linen spread, On clothesline during day. How it caused such dismay! Knew my mind, still under Halloween dread.

Yep, imagination can doom us...of course, the Ghost may have just undressed, and now glides to and fro, from your dwelling never truly dismissed. Trick Or Treat! Blessings my friend. Love your spooky poem.

Dreams can be deceptive especially if we are under stress of Halloween feasts. Lovely limericks and perfect ending. Blessings.

This is haunting as well as funny! Is there any form you cant do! Iv never done limericks, as i think i cant be funny haha. But yours is truly so good! Its not just funny when you said “ all i have is the broom to defend me” but also the imagery and how descriptive this is is beyond impeccable! Im sure this will be a top winner! Your way with writing always is so refreshing! So good to see you writing! I hope your trip went well and you got some time to yourself! Sending you light always
