Pub Chatter: UNBOUND - October 29, 2017 - Prompt #1 - Write a poem about spending the night in a haunted house.


my haunted house


long shadows gather

windows fade

hear my breath

hands folded

head bowed low

I wait

for my ghosts

who come

with buttered biscuits

love light

pats and whispers

I feel

one more time

my ghosts'

love inside me

spirit owned

well kept flesh

we thought

we were safe


10.31.17


prayers up for those innocent people who've paid mortal price -

fallen neath evil's sword


prayers up for those whose hearts are

imprisoned by ignorance and fear


prayers up that goodness will prevail

and peace will be our

worldwide goal
