The moon shines brightly,
from behind patches of cloud.
The wind blowing intensely,
the wolves howling aloud.
I draw back the curtain,
I stare across the way,
It almost seems certain,
that ghost is there to stay.
The old estate, abandoned for years,
housed the eere ghost.
The un-easy gaze upon her face,
frightened me the most.
It was the soul of old lady Chester,
a ghost no-one should ever pester,
that chilled the spines of those that dare,
to catch lady Chester un-aware.
She walks the halls every night,
the passers by get such a fright,
they run away so very fast,
fearing a spirit yet to pass.

That's a great name for a ghost, "Old Lady Chester" if I ever see one I'm calling it that...even if it is a male ghost.
All these entries in the contest have given me the creeps. I'm going to go hide in my closet.
-
you are brave...my first poems are scarier than the most frightening poem in this contest...* grins* well done!!!!
-
You included lots of scary atmosphere, no wonder people run away! It seems that the worst people invariably haunt the living. Best of luck!

Dear Til,
I'm glad you entered this poem, I liked it when I read it last night.
old Lady Chester was a very scary ghost, no wonder everyone ran away from the house.
Great poem Til even being only your second attemp, you did well.
Thankyou for entering our group contest and good luck.

Dear old Lady Chester
