Sleep if You Dare by Cindy Georgakas

Published by

Creatures of the night

Haunts my rattling bones

This house- divided thunders

Doors knock- floorboards creek

Turn off the lights hide and seek 

Run for shelter terrified

Werewolves take flight

Nobody’s home or are they?

Full moon delivers mystery

No shut eye here

Sleep on pins and needles 

With hatchet and whiskey in hand.

    I love the hatchet and whiskey in hand as weapons. Who’s going to win that fight? 🤣

      Thanks, Marsha.. I’m a lover, not a hater but with whisky in hand, it’s a toss up. How’s that for an unlikely poem from me?! lol xo
