I lay awake last night, after a fright
A ghostly apparition in my room
It made me turn a lighter shade of white
And made me think of my impending doom
It floated high beneath the ceiling fan
A silent misty flow of neon blue
I screamed out loud and then I sort of ran
It was the only thing that I could do
I tripped upon the stairs and tumbled down
And landed in a heap upon the floor
Just in time to see a ghostly gown
Slipping through the locked back kitchen door

This is very good, Phil. Nice rhyming scheme. Of course it's all fiction, but I really do scream during the night sometimes when I get really bad charley horses. I even wrote a poem about it called CHARLEY HORSE. I will read more of your poems.
