Here's a shorty, note that the writer and narrator are not the same.



Poltergeist

When evening shadows grope
over the boxwood hedge,
screeches careen into my ears
here in this blue-lit room
where twilight shelters me
but still that poltergeist appears.

There’s nowhere left I can run
and nothing more for me to do.
What’s that? I hear footsteps. *
There’s nobody here!
No-one is near,
no dreaded incubus, **
no evil voodoo spell,
no booze to paralyze my fear.


* formerly 1 sentence with comma.
** originally phantom incubus,
leading to probable tautology, thx Jax

Dear Ron,
Thx for looking in and commenting >>
To wit, tu woo, I must confess that Chanticleer wrote down that mess you see below;
but up above, that regimen has sprung forth from our Merlin's pen.


(Sorry, JK)

I hope that I shall never be
Put into just one category.
I’d feel as though my mouth is prest
Against a window facing west
Without the hope to go and play,
But sit inside the livelong day!
I’d be a tree in summer wear
But shed of robins in her hair;
Instead I see both snow and rain
Along with grass where it has lain.
There sometimes must be fools like me,
And others who write poetry!

Merlin & Co
