Haunted

There are ghosts & ghouls under my bed
Monsters haunt my dreams.
Wailing voices fill my head--
Now they've turned to screams.

Outside, the scene's much worse
Beasts & skeletons patrol the hall
Waiting to haunt whoever comes first;
Spirits roam, unseen by one & all.

Blood-thirsty draculas & vampires
Also roam freely here;
Witches read our future by fires
To fill us with an endless fear.

Banshees sing with a screechy wail--
Is that something ringing?
"Wake up, you silly girl", said Mom
"Saven o'clock! What were you thinking?"

As I got dressed for school
I laughed & suppressed a sigh.
I winked at my portrait
As I passed it by--
Was it just my imagination
Or did it actually wink in reply?
