The Haunted House
The house was haunted
With scenes of devastation
Littered with bodies
One by one they came
The lifeless zombies drifting
And drowning in the pool
What a price they paid
The impact of the carnage
Known only by us
Remote desolate
Illuminated at last
A storm needs to come
Great images and i like how the fear seeps through this. I felt a chill
ReplyDeletedoesn't sound like a place I would like to visit
ReplyDeleteThere are those who cause mischief and unwitting impact on others.Such persons need to be told immediately before they cause any further damage! That's how I read this! Great write oldegg!

Chilling and as someone else said, not a place I'd want to visit.

Omg, OldEgg. It's really scared me...and this red at the picture, reflected in the paddle...Hope it is a bad dream!
ReplyDeleteMy hands are shaking!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of 'The House on the Borderland'. Eerie!
ReplyDeletePerfect picture for your dark poem. Enjoyed the read.
ReplyDeleteThe words lent themselves perfectly to this one!
ReplyDeleteew...my youngest son devours stories and shows about zombies! this fits right up his alley, but I wouldn't want to read this at night when I'm alone. well done for the genre!
ReplyDeleteSometimes you have to do what you have to do..to survive and keep yourself safe..I am glad you gave it a whirl..certainly led you down a very good path
ReplyDeleteTheir "shee" stood
ReplyDeletedraped in nothing
but red
life brightens
this leached out
seemingly lifeless wasteland
so beautiful to see
these words came to be
I bet she wishes she thought
ahead about
a belt, or waistband...

I feel like I need to be screaming, "DON'T GO INTO THE HOUSE!" like in those horror movies. Eerie, indeed. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThe storm always seems to have a need to come...but on its own timetable, not ours...which is sad, really...not to mention disturbing...
ReplyDeleteA Singular Whirl
Yes, a storm needs to come to cleanse the place. I like the creepy nature of this one.
ReplyDelete...this reminds me of a real story where the very same happened....
