Here is one of my poems i recited at the Wenatchee Museum's "4 Minutes of Fame" event where local writers were encouraged to recite 4 minutes of their writing.
Putting on my spooky sheet at midnight.
Gonna give those kids quite a fright.
While desperately fighting sleep
While desperately fighting sleep
Me & my friends haunt houses,parks & mines.
Our alter egos are all frightening signs.
We scare & terrorize come night time
To hide out property related crime
Miner-fourty-niner, Captain Cutler & 40,000 Volt Ghost.
These are the people I adore the most.
Chasing you through the fields during the midnight hour.
This is me at the height of my spectral power.
Then I hear the dreaded zoinks & jinkies
This is when my plan goes hinkey
Chasing you through the fields during the midnight hour.
This is me at the height of my spectral power.
Then I hear the dreaded zoinks & jinkies
This is when my plan goes hinkey
I've falllen into those kids cunning trap.
Things have gone so wrong ASAP.
Who the hell names their dog Scooby-Doo?
Foiled, captured & unmasked.
My villainous plot has collapsed
Without my sheet, they see through my spectral con.
I can no longer get my ghost on.
They finally see the evil has a face.
They see I'm just another member of the human race
For a while, I was myth, I was legend
The lure of the sheet it did beckon.
Even though I will soon be gone.
I proudly state, I got my ghost on.
