You the Bard

The house sits on a hill beyond the way The back yard seems empty save a dirt path Windows twist in the dark as in the day The scene is terrifying with great wrath Horrid the place would create a bad bath You may exit the house through the back door Screams will break out of your lungs, then some more The terror you would see in the back yard Would be greater than the worst bedside sore For dead you would be, the world’s greatest bard

If someone were to put an Open House sign in the front yard, I'd back away very slowly. Bard means musician, right? For creepiness I would mark it high... nicely done!
