As the tell tale heart was beating,
I had caught myself repeating,
At the rhythms that were fleeting,
When I walked across the floor.
It was then I heard the tapping,
And the constant rap, rap, rapping,
Like dry naked bones were clapping,
When I opened up the door.
A ghost was there just staring,
With its eyes so big and glaring,
There was no way of preparing,
What stood there before my sight.
Was it here to take me souling,
In the wind so cold and blowing,
'Neath the moon so full and glowing,
On this crisp October night?
In the moments that were slipping,
I had felt my heart skip-skipping,
Through the knob that I was gripping,
I was frightened to the core.
Then there came the errie laughter,
And I knew what it was after,
When its shouts had shook the rafter,
TRICK or TREAT and nothing more.

I loved this one too!!! But i liked the first one i read even more What type of poem is this? I don't really know the different types of poems >.< But i see that it rhymes for the first 3 lines of the stanzas =o That must've been hard to write o.O Awesome!
Meter was strong and even throughout the entire poem! It was a pleasure to read! I would check, though, I think tell tale should be telltale. I think it's one word, not two.
The story, in the poem, was consistent throughout. It was easy and pleasurable (the meter was simply delicious) to read. Though it was a Halloween poem, it wasn't a corny, I'm going to scare you kind of poem, it was a fun poem.
Fun, enjoyable, and great even for a child to read.
It's an absolute must to read the poem a second time. One CANNOT fully appreciate the wit and clever wording until they have read the 'punch line'. This is smooth and showcases the talents of an accomplished writer. I love humorous writes ... so thanks for a special "TREAT".
