Creaky floors and creaky doors
The haunted house hears me
Creeping along the staircase
Hoping the ghostly ghouls won’t see.
Suddenly the silence shatters
Nerves are torn in tiny tatters
A deathly scream is all that matters
I think it is time to flee.

For d’Verse.….. where creak was the prompt, I had already written two quadrilles today but neither of them fitted the prompt….so this was the result.

My wife & I enjoy ghost tours in real haunted places, sparking actual encounters with things that go bump in the night; good for the imagination and blood pressure.

sounds wonderful. I have some friends who go and photograph places that are in decay for historical purposes.

I love the creaky, scary poem! Written to perfection. But the house… I like it! I would live there. Move a few stones out of the way. Maybe a few flowers….
