I thought this was a well written piece, TPAC and you captured the curiosity of yourself and your cousin as younger children well, I probably wouldn't want to enter the house as well. I thought that your writing flowed well and I couldn't find any faults. Thanks for sharing...Jacob

Hi TPAC, gripping gem of a story here and true at that. In the beginning, as a suggestion, I would delete the word 'together' because it seems that you and your cousin are already together. Take care and cheers.

In your notes "my cousin enough" should be "my cousin had enough". Creepy old houses can definitely be rather scary to youngsters. So much fun to explore, and not knowing what lurks behind the next corner adds so much more to the experience. Well done.

Free verse: Title: Haunted House. Theme: a haunted house which is packed with bails of hay is seen to have changed in the course of an evening for no explainable reason into a house with all lights on upstairs and downstairs with music playing. Casting a pebble onto the roof makes all activity stop.

This poem needs a little work to improve its legibility and atmosphere. A few metaphors, similes or adjectives would increase its appeal immensely. The story unfolds well enough although the colloquial language is a little disjointed for example "We passing decayed house on route to store" the verb passing should be past tense e.g. "we passed a decayed house". I gave it four stars.

Sounds like a load of fun. I've never seen or felt a ghost. Would like to. I want to experience that. It ain't real unless it happens to you. You tell an excellent story in poetry form. Well crafted. Les

Some things are stranger than fiction and beyond belief.
Only the people who witness these events for themselves actually believe they happen. BECAUSE THEY DID
