Featured Guest Poetess: Ms. Becca Teagan from PoetrySoup in One Dismal Night

One Dismal Night

One dismal night in Autumn’s chill With thunder, deafening and shrill -- I, in my chamber, dark and damp Lay restlessly near flick’ring lamp Heard scratching just behind the curtain ‘twas but a tree branch, I was certain Still half-asleep in fitful slumber ‘midst crashing sounds of shaking thunder With blanket pulled to hide my head All nestled down into my bed -- Yet even still, could not be drowned, That horrid, scratching-scratching sound Tossing -- tossing to and fro My heavy pillow I did throw As if to stop that scratching sound That made my head begin to pound! But yet the noise continued still -- Such scratching, scratching, on the sill Reluctantly I left my bed And headed toward the thing of dread -- Flung back the curtains with disdain Threw open window to the rain -- Thus welcoming a feline beast If only so the scratching ceased! Conceding shelter for the night I lay back down and cut the light Relinquished slowly to my dreams -- Awakened suddenly to screams! They were my own, these anguished cries! That feline clawing at my eyes! Scratching, scratching at my head -- Tearing me, my flesh to shred -- My screaming didn’t scare it off It looked at me as if to scoff My bed became my grave, it seemed -- ‘till I awakened from my dream … Its eyes -- they bore into my soul I grabbed it up with just one goal -- The force at which I threw that beast Against the wall -- the scratching ceased Then threw its body out the door To haunt me, haunt me nevermore! Thus bringing peace to follow fast -- Yet peace like this will never last For every night, I toss and turn My head, it spins - my ears, they burn For every night, upon the sill -- I hear the scratching-scratching still
