Haunted House

I want my house to look all creepy and haunted looking when I grow up

Bookshelves cluttered with collections of stories

Cobwebs lace the stairs

Skulls are sleeping in the windows

Ravens eating my dreams

What does cold feel like?

The fires rage in my mind

As I read my collection of books

All bound in human skin

The pages are still flecked with blood

Vibrant red among the ink

All the words capture my dreams

Like murderers hold their victim’s hearts

Sparks are flying from the fireplace

The bodies are making acid smoke

But I can never leave my prison of darkness

The heroes, the good guys

Will cart me away

It’s a much better death

To suffocate among skulls and spiders

Among boogey men and axe murders

Where I know my grave will be in eternal moonlight

Thank you!!

Very creepy, but very well written. The word choice gave it a certain feel that it wasn't just a haunted house, but something more dark and malevolent. Good work!

[Alexa Tasch]

thanks!!

[L. Catherine]

Welcome!

[Dr. Wood ?]

it is typical of you to go off on a gruesome and deathly voyage..Not complaining..you are excellent at it...I wondered if MURDERS should read...MURDERERS....Great otherwise

[Alexa Tasch]

yes it should be and screw microsoft word and waht it passes off as spell check! Thanks for the review!

[Dr. Wood ?]

It is probably built in..a Bill gates idea to save you on ink

[Alexa Tasch]

oh yeah its built in, it just doesn't always catch things
