haunted house

This is a poem i wrote for english a while ago. We had to write about a news article. Some family in mexico were sueing the previous owners of their house because they didnt tell them it was haunted. you like?

 

There she stood in the dark old house....

Light shining down on her pale white skin....

All you could hear was the sound of a mouse....

Her eyes open wide like headlights on cars....

Her pupils black like a sky with no stars....

.. ..

The house was old....

The floors they creaked....

The air was cold....

The taps the leaked....

Her arms went crazy ....

Flying through the air....

You could see through her eyes ....

There was no soul inside ....

All you could see was her cold blank stare....

.. ..

The family had moved in just a year before....

The house had smiled and welcomed them in....

The windows like eyes with a soul inside....

But no more....

.. ..

12 months had passed ....

The family was scared....

The health of their daughter was all that they cared....

They called in a team....

To get rid of the ghosts....

They set up cameras on four large posts....

.. ..

.. ..

They sat in a van outside of the house....

Like a pack of hermits who’d found their place....

They stared at their screens....

Watching the girl dressed in lace....

Waiting to see her episode ....

When she goes into devil mode....

.. ..

The staring people didn’t help....

The girl stopped for only a week....

The family all sat down and wept....

The girl was the devil in a different suit....

Her soul was Satan’s treasure and loot ....

.. ..

.. ..

The family blamed it on the house....

That day they left the little mouse....

A family of three the next day came....

The ghosts in the house treated them the same....

.. ..

We were not told about the ghosts....

Or the people with cameras on posts....

We were not told about the freaks....

Or the bathroom with all the leaks....

You owe us a sum of money....

This we do not find at all funny....
