The Old Abandoned House

by Amanda Heim

 

Down the road was a dark alley

the dark alley

had an abandoned house

I went inside to look

there were creepy things

in that abandoned house.

I kept my eye on that house.

It smelled like there

was something fishy in there.

I looked around, everywhere.

There was a cornfield

in the backyard.

I saw a toy truck in

the field.

Tomorrow I am going there.

There is a stray cat, all black

in that abandoned house.

It is night.  I am there.

Looking around, everywhere

for that stray cat.

The cat is in a

deep dark closet

I go in, and now

I can't come back

at all.
