![]() Haunted House by Doris Ruth Mackey High on the hill, just outside of town. Alone, inhabited by ghostly memories. Unwanted, its history too dreadful. None of the bodies were ever found. Time has moved on leaving it behind. Everyone in the town knows the story, Deeds most terrible, never avenged. Home, once to a loving family, Ordinary people with hopes and dreams. Unfulfilled, those dreams died one cold night Screams shattered the darkness, then all was still. Empty now, it looks down on the town...and waits. Acrostic Poetry: First letter of each line spells a word, usually using the same word as the title. This form of poetry can be rhyming or non-rhyming.
