Premium MemberSpooked Mr Johnson

Old Mr. Johnson, with broom in one hand,  
Told his sweet granddaughter, “Sleep, not grandstand!”  
Her room was empty, the air grew cold—  
Only the Ouija sat silent and bold.

He muttered and shivered, “No time to wait,”  
Grabbed his truck keys and zipped past the gate.  
The cemetery whispered secrets

Premium Memberspooked by a Hoot

As a child at night, tucked up into bed 

counting sheep would never work for me 

counting only up to three

then drifting from my head 

An imagination Big enough

self-sabotaging dread 

a shadowed figurine 

with glowing eyes instead 

whistling gusts of wind 

the creepy creaking shed 

What if something hungry lurked outside

 looking to be fed

Premium MemberLeticia Gets Spooked

We all knew how spooked our cousin Leticia gets.
We knew when she saw the skull she would pitch fits.
Should we warn her? Asked my Aunt Little Bits.
No way! We kids yelled. That would be the pits!

The skull was sitting about sixteen feet away.
I was afraid Leticia might not see it today.
I motioned past her, in

Getting Spooked

The sun set slowly this eve
As the moon seemed to tip toe
Upon the distant horizon

As the handoff of day to night ensued
The sounds of laughing children
Filled the air on this Halloween

A chill fell upon the trick-or-treaters
With hopes costumes would protect
From the oncoming cold night

Little protection, though
Against the hunting and haunting spirits
That wish to walk the

Premium MemberI Once Got Spooked

i once got spooked
on Spooky Hollow road
smack dab
in middle of headless horseman country
almost lost my head
it was very dark
lanterns belong to city dwellers

my station wagon spun crazy eights
as i imagined, the dawn of the dead,
a recently watched horror fest

any moment he’d materialize
head hanging off shoulder
green as pea soup

or Dracula, leaning on a cane
white teeth hanging

Premium MemberWell and Truly Spooked

We were four tough teens and one day at school we were dared
To spend a night in Hangman's Woods to prove we weren't scared,
We'd set up camp for the night then heard loud wailing and a moan
Sheer blind terror overcame us when we realised we weren't alone,
We ran as fast as our legs could carry

Full moon beams
a foreboding light
hanging in a
twilit sky;
shadows of cobalt
soon blackened loom,
as witches stir
their cauldron brews.
A distant howl
in the night;
skeletal fingers
click so light.
The graveyard stirs
in amorphous view.

Spooked

There was a girl named Bridget
who fell in love with a midget.
They got along fine
'cept at loving time
the best he could do was fidget.

Who is knocking on my empty stump
on this cold and dreary night?
I glanced at my friend, but she was snoring away, 
her usual evening sight.

I went to the door with my loaded acorn, 
ready to shoot me some bear.
But believe it or not, no one was around, 
not a soul even there.

SPOOKED 

i snuffed
     out candlelight -
          suddenly spooky dark.

forgotten sound, resounds, in length

Spooked

Spooked
Driving along on my scooter seeing the familiar 
landscape there was a time disturbance 
the landscape was the same but the trees small 
and there were fewer ploughed fields.
mystical shadows and a murmur of voices sounded 
as an echo and I felt spooked.

I stopped and waited perhaps I had a funny turn
slowly the warp panned

Souls filing down Heaven’s hall;
People walk among us all.
One or two in a crowd can, see them;
Others are blind, to their own fellow men
Keep your mortal
Eyes closed at night, in bed;
Dark rooms may reveal the non-dead.

by lightning
while
the

the titled song, 
“Bring Him Home”
