Bats are flying, moon shining bright
A chilly wind is howling
Or is it a werewolf?
A door is creaking
Lights fluttering...
Suddenly,
A ghost.
Boo!!

Today I didn't feel like following the theme of the prompt (messenger), but I did follow the form (a nonet).
Hallowe'en is coming you guys!! 😊
ReplyDeleteI like the way you ended this -- boo! :) Love the rhyming, too. Feels natural. Great piece!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was something written without many expectations but to have a little fun. I'm glad you liked it!
DeleteI like it! It is light, and that's refreshing. Good job with the form. Thank you. xoA
ReplyDeleteYes, I needed a little lightness in my life, and my children are starting to think a lot about Halloween, so... it was the obvious theme! Thank you for reading and commenting, your words are always valued!
