Halloween 2023 Prompts #2 There was a strange feeling in the air that morning…
Mytton Hall, Francis Seymour Haden, 1818-1910
Follow me to Mytton Hall
where the shadows hide until
night falls.
Just before the Sunsets
and a few seconds after
the shadows and shades
tear themselves away from the walls
of Mytton Hall then
they crawl down the attic stairs
they slide out from under the beds
and the kitchen drawers
where the bone handled knives are kept.
Follow me to Mytton Hall
but let’s not do it hours and hours before the Sunsets
because that wouldn’t be any fun at all.
