Shall we play a haunting game
a game of hide and seek?
the family’s all here
Aunt Lizzie
Cousin Alfred
and me
I’ll start counting
and promise not to peek
but where are the others?
it’s no fun with just three
don’t fret, silly girl,
the others will arrive at dark
now
ready, set
find your mark!
ah-ha!
is that you, Aunt Lizzie,
hiding under the stairs?
no, silly girl,
comes a voice from thin air
that’s Cousin Alfred
catch him if you dare!
wait!
I hear him whistling
behind a closed door
tag!
you’re it, Alfred
that evens the score!
hmmm,
as for Aunt Lizzie
where would she hide?
the lagoon, of course,
that’s where she died!
touché, silly girl,
you’re too clever for words
but who is that whispering?
I think we’ve been heard
ah-ha!
the others have arrived
Lizzie giggles with glee
Alfred floats off
whistling carefree
let the hauntings begin
we have more than three
more than two ghosts,
two ghosts
and me
God, this was amazing

That is a great poem with a story. I’m curious. I know of the three, but you say there are more. Uh oh, the hauntings have begun. A very fun October piece, Sue. Well done!
