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 Merlin, er Chanticleer?
Now you've done it!
Since I haven't read your Kilmer para before, I assume it's fresh out of your quill
and that Chanti has an especial way to enchant me. Does Chanti use his own tail feathers to write such classics?
Nicely done!
Cheers, Ron jgdittier
