In a haunted house on a spooky night
A ghost was dancing in the pale moonlight.
He twirled and spun with a spooky grin,
Even ghosts like to boogie and spin!
No chains or screams, just a funky dance,
Even ghosts need a groove and a chance.
So if you see a ghost doing the jig,
Join in and dance, it’s a ghostly gig!

Most ghosts like to haunt, and scare,
But this peculiar ghost, doesn't have a care.
He always took it easy to not have much stress,
That way life wouldn't be such a mess.
He just floats along at his own pace,
In hopes that no one will see his face.
Just Another Lazy Ghost,
Looking for the right host.

In a lighthouse where the ghosts all dwell,
They guard the rocks and ring the bell.
One phantom sighs, “It’s quite the view,”
While floating past a crew of goo.
The lantern flickers, spirits cheer,
“We haunt with joy, no need to fear!”
But when a sailor trips and yells,
They laugh so loud they break their spells.

"Boo Guy,” the ghost says on repeat.
As he thinks it’s kinda neat.
To be as friendly of a ghost he can be,
Just so that he can try to see.
If he can finally be as scary as the other ghosts he knows,
But as he tries “Boo Guy,” just seems to flow.
He will continue to keep trying,
As there is nothing else to do besides sighing.
“Boo Guy,” one more time,
Until it’s the end of the rhyme.

Here is the first poem for my next collection. Called The Grip of Darkness.
Shadows slither along the cold, cracked wall,
Whispering secrets that threaten to fall.
No matter how fiercely we fight or pray,
They linger in darkness, never going away.
Their hope is eternal, their grip is tight,
Haunting our souls in the dead of night.

Good news. I am returning to doing poems. As now I have title for another collection idea, I really like called Spooky Poems For Spooky Souls.
I had a nice break for a few months from writing. So I think going back to Poems will be easier than a short story collection until I get into the swing of it again.
As usual the poems will be posted here until I feel I have enough of them for the collection. No eta.
Sincerely,
