Houdini's Hoax

"Invalid Item" 
Houdini died on October 31, 1926 - 90 years ago today. It is well known that Houdini held a fascination with life after death. He often held séances and talked about coming back to visit friends after he died. Imagine you are holding a séance and call forth Harry Houdini. Write a poem or short story about the séance, what happens, and what Harry Houdini has to say. You can do research or you can totally make something up. But whatever you do, make it good!!!

Harry Houdini’s Hoax ~Bess’ longest wait

Houdini kissed wife Bess in wake
rehearsed for when he was dead
With signs and secret items to share
~At the other sphere side they met

Bess did the séances for ten whole years
Lighting candles with a flame
She never met her man again
Thought it a hoax, and it was lame

The society on the other hand
claimed to have proof of strive,
stating Harry Houdini did his act:
escaping death after life.
