Nightlight Poetry

Spine-Tingling Lines and Rhymes

This collection of Poetry and Haiku is about things that are spooky, frightening, and terrifying. And it's also about the things that lurk in the darkness and shadows and the endless fears in every human mind. Haiku: 5 Deadly Senses Sight: Her common sense fails She opens the old front door Slips inside the house Taste: Mouth filled with dryness Her throat turns to sandpaper Saliva like dirt Touch: She feels the floor squish Hands trace the soft rotten wall Brush aside cobwebs Smell: Her nose sniffs and snorts Filled with the dusty cold air Rot, mold, and decay Hear: Behind her – footsteps Creaking across the old floor Swish of an ax blade
