Best Poltergeist Poems

People and places like thread
Over and under, sewing your head
Leaking and squeaking
Thrilling and peeking
Elements of illusion
Rebounds with delusion
Grumbling in your ears
Ending and halting heartbeat in tears
Intermittent noises of the unseen
Souls playing around when clock strikes at thirteen
Touching you and me in grim...

Mystery Of The Poltergeist

It is said, “All things in balance”,
yin has it’s yang, plus has it’s minus,
all things in balance is natures way.

There is however another important factor in this design,
the mean, the balance point.
This infinitesimal position in the mix
sets the stage,
the condition for balance...

Peckham London, a dwelling holding secrets of many
until my friends relatives unlocked the door.
Uncle Clive,an Indian desendant,held the key of forth coming
to the five terrace house,adjacent pre war cemetry,now a park.

We would visit,at nights many storys were spun.
An almighty bang came from above,uncle Clive shot...

There are harmless ghosts, who wander, seeming to seek their past
as though they’re looking for themselves or a life that didn’t last.
You may just get a glimpse of her as she wanders in your way.
There’s no need to fear nor run.  If she sees...

My mind is like a haunted house,
and you are the restless spirit;
the poltergeist inside of it.
But in fact, it’s not really you:
it's just the remain of a once-called-precious vestige     
of my love for you.
          On everywhere...

red-haired poltergeist
in a spine-chilling boneyard
a blood-spattered cape

Relaxing feet up enjoying my supper
then it starts, doors banging lights
flashing on and off, there goes my cuppa,
all he wants is trouble and fights,
there goes the cornflakes and rice,
It's so hard living with a poltergeist,

never know what's going flying next
pots and pans levitating then falling,
this...

Poltergeist was feeling frisky
New residents were in his house
Celebrating new home drinking whisky
His ghostly presence like silent mouse.

Happy pair were quietly fluted
Snoozing contentedly on comfy couch
Poltergeist decided to kick up rumpus
'twas definitely now haunted house.

Rage and ruin whirlwind temper
Calico cat cowers on the mat
Violent supernatural...

I searched high and low 
Searched left and right
Searched from morning 
To half past midnight

Where could it go
It was there in the desk 
Someone's messing with me 
Is it just a test
 
Now it's missing in action
I feel like a blind man
Are my eyes closed
Blindly...

Steps squeak,
Shrill shriek!...

Digby throws things
Slams doors
Turns lights on and off

He is your imagination Samantha’s father tells her
She knows better
She has heard Digby’s diabolical laugh

Sometimes the poltergeist sits on the edge of her bed
She can feel the bed go down
This terrifies her

Especially since she is the only one...

POLTERGEIST

Sometimes the past seems very remote
— again, close as the hallway—
Tonight I’m looking over my shoulder,
folks I knew thirty—even forty—years ago,
friends and lovers— old enemies.
My room is full of ghosts,
quarrels, conversation of the absent, the missing--
a spectral hand on my arm!...

dear poltergeist
     as I compose this letter to you
   I am tired
       but you are not

          my enemies have come for blood

Down in hell, that stronghold of sin.
strange things stir, but let me begin.
I'll get to the point. Some details I'll skimp.
I tell the tale of a mischievous imp.
Of two imps in fact, to be more precise.
If trouble occurs, it may occur twice.
If on earth bawling...

When vampires fly abroad in search of blood
And poltergeists and demons do no good;
When zombies drooling, crawl up from the ground
And ghoulish spirits glide without a sound;
When bats and spiders brush across your face
And coffins spill out bodies all in lace;
A chill crawls up your...
