SEANCE
Candlelight
flickers
a few novices
snicker
flowers offer
comfort
a reminder of summer
the medium
enters
takes a seat
at the center
no smile is
offered
even after
mine is proffered
Halloween she
says
a night of
spirit play
will their
presence
be an answer
to prayer
or will you
all become
their prey.
Muahahaha!

What a choice!!!
Don't mess with the spirits! Cool Halloween poem!
Thanks, Sue. Wanted it to be fun. Hoping all is well with you!
Nope, not a good idea! Hey, Nila!!!
I don't do seances for the same reason I don't do ouija boards: Never knock on a door that may hide entities waiting for an invitation ... to dinner. Fun poem.
Become prey - funny!
Love it! So spooky but whimsical.
Ooh, you tickled all the creepy spots Renee! Go you Queen of Creepiness!
LOL I don't do those either, or visit graveyards at night. I made the mistake of doing that once and got the fright of my life. Never ever gamble against the spirits.
Thanks, Alex!
Thanks, Diane!
Thanks, Denise!
Haha. Nice one, Renee. I like the hint of humour, horror and warning, all in one.
That is a terrifying pumpkin, with its glowing eyes. Seances are not for the faint of heart.
Hi Yolanda - quelle horreur - not nice ... don't enter a room when there's a non-welcoming woman ... well done - mine will be up soon - cheers Hilary
Becoming prey? That's exactly what I'd be concerned about. Good job.
Thanks Sonia!
I wouldn't think so. To me, too scary!
Thanks Hilary, looking forward to yours!
Exactly, thanks Lee!
This poem made me smile . . . loved that last line. Oh, those trusting souls who venture out on Halloween Eve!
Hi,
A very engaging take on the prompt. I had to laugh because it is light and spooky.
All the best.
Shalom shalom
A fitting poem for Halloween.
Your poem lets me know quite effectively to avoid that fortune teller! Perfect for Halloween.
I do believe in ghosts, I've even seen a few and been more annoyed than scared. But I have never looked for them at a seance. And an Oujia board has never worked for me.
