[hometext] => In tribute to Edgar allen Poe, master of the macabre. God rest your soul and wherever it haunts
[bodytext] => Look up and gaze upon the haunted house where the ghosts dwell Upon the hill where wooden splintered hands break through the earth and crooked fingers reach out into the swirling black sky Walk up the path through the rust encrusted ancient gateway don't step on the cracks you're going to need the luck Tread the wooden steps green, cracked and peeling untended for an age Step out of the rain and through the door Greet the familiar smell of time and decay Step forward Close the door behind you like mother taught silence, all but the sound of the howling wind outside and the deafening scream of the dark Look around you Browned, netted curtains mask the cracked, stained windows peeling ruby red wallpaper rotten to the boards The tick of the Grandfather clock, long since stopped drumps into the mind a sinister heartbeat tick, tick, tick The chains of the past rattle You shriek a muffled cry of terror Welcome Home [comments] => 5 [counter] => 178 [topic] => 13 [informant] => glu1 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 29 [ratings] => 6 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

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. ©
