[bodytext] => Slowly I crept towards that haunted house Scattered around it, an old toy, a tattered blouse Each step creaked as I climbed up the stairs The wood was rotting, and the paint scraped bare I was frightened that what laid inside was evil, was bad But the mysterious home stood there as it always had My courage picked up, and I pushed open the door My eyes laid upon sights never seen before Dark as it was, I made out the shapes A filthy old couch, and moth eaten drapes An old dusty clock, a moldy old rug The mystery of Old gave my curiosity another tug The more I explored, the more enticed I became The décor all matched, yet nothing was the same Each piece of furniture told a story of its own Each blanket and sheet was lovingly sewn This place was not evil, as many had told me False were the stories my neighbors had sold me This place was a home to a family, nothing more They ran down these stairs, they walked on these floors They laughed over meals, told stories in the den All the kids were tucked in at a quarter past ten So why are they different, this family and I? We both loved, we both laughed, we both suffered and cried. So why was it haunted? Why was it forbidden? Why was the true story of this house so carefully hidden? And then it hit me, like a ton of bricks from these walls. There was no malice, no evil at all. It was the fear that we share of what we don’t comprehend. When we don’t know the truth, we lie and defend Our beliefs that what is unknown can’t possibly be good. Mysterious means wrong and unnatural, that’s understood. But my friends, I strongly disagree. The best things in life are difficult to see You have to look deeper, and find out for you You have to understand that these houses have good stories too.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
