Haunted Invitation

Haunted Invitation

A Poem by mockingbird shadow
"

welcome to the house of the dead but beware...

"

You’re invited to a dinner

A banquet for ghosts

You’re their special guest

Don’t worry they’re most gracious hosts

 

When you see the invitation you think it’s a joke

But I assure you it’s most definitely not

So dress up nice and don’t be late

And don’t forget to bring the invite you got

 

You arrive at the place

It’s oddly familiar, like you’ve been there before

You walk up to the house

And knock on the door

 

You hesitate to enter

When the door opens with a creak

But against your better judgment

You step forward and take a peak

 

What you see is surprising

Something you’d never guess

You give a chuckle there just normal people

Sigh, you’re a little disappointed you confess

 

You think for a minute

Wondering if this is a trick

Your presence is detected

A woman in red steps over quick

 

She introduces herself as the hostess

And welcomes you in

You’re the last guest to arrive

Now dinner can begin

 

You sit down at the table

Today’s menu is pheasant

You’re hungry so you take a bite

And find that it’s quite pleasant

 

All of a sudden you start to feel sick

And don’t want to be here anymore

Your vision goes black

And you collapse to the floor

 

You awaken with a jolt

Above you faces loom

You sit yourself up

And have an odd sense of doom

 

When you get to your feet you feel light headed

The people around you start to moan

You realize that they are slightly translucent

In fear you let out a groan

 

You hear a wicked laugh

You turn and see the hostess in red

Looking down at the floor

You realize you’re dead

 

At your feet lies your body

Unmoving and cold like ice

You ate the food of the dead

And must pay the price

 

A ghost you’ve become

You cry out in fear

You’re trapped for eternity

To stay in this house here
