O

This is a response to Verse First's prompt at Poet's United. The theme was "Ghosts & Spirits & Scares". Stuff I like to write about. I know this is almost a week after the prompt, but I am all chained up by work.

Oh yes, 31 words in the poem only.

O



in a darkened room
look into a mirror
at midnight,
       be afraid
       what is inside
       the glass
in the
reflection
         there is
         besides..

and the scream,
which is
not your own.
