SEANCE

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!

    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.

      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.

    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.

      I wouldn't think so. To me, too scary!

    Becoming prey? That's exactly what I'd be concerned about. Good job.

    Hi,
    A very engaging take on the prompt. I had to laugh because it is light and spooky.
    All the best.

    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.
