Haunted InvitationA Poem by mockingbird shadowwelcome 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 © 2010 mockingbird shadow |
