Exceptional Modern Horror Haiku a Suite of Dark Poetry 2023 Gypsy's Haiku : The Thing Behind the Wall by Gypsy Blue Rose For Dean Kuch

noises behind the wall    kept the boy up all night long—   maybe it was rats     though he knew rats don't bang ... knock ... or thump— they do gnaw and munch     his Mom and Dad said he imagined or lied— they didn't help     sometimes the thing behind the walls— came out to play     it liked to hide     beneath his bed— he smelled its breath     the boy heard piercing laughs shrills and roars— how could his parents not hear?         until one night     the thing told him— a secret about his dad     when his dad was young he made a deal with the thing— to give it his kid         tonight, listen well, what's under your bed?               Recognized Author Notes Happy Halloween!
