Poltergeist

Poltergeist

by Mandy Doerr

Knocking on the windows,
Pounding on the doors,
Scratching under the bed,
Until I can stand no more.

Footstep in the hallway,
Yelling on the stairs,
Singing in the shower,
But no one's there.

Food disappearing,
Milk on my lap,
Yanked out of my bed,
While trying to take a nap.

Rocks in the living room
Fall on the floor,
Dishes in the air,
I can't stand it any more!
