Magpie Tale-I Live In A Haunted House
This is a post for Magpie Tale hosted by Willow at:

I wrote a poem this time, it is a fiction trying to have fun looking at the prompt.
I value your input and wishing you all A Happy Monday!
*****
I live in a haunted house
With my sickly spouse.
There is a scary spell
Which I must tell.
I see an eyeball in the air,
When I try to touch it,
It is not there.
I sink myself into a chair,
Feeling the sense of despair.
I stare
At the mischievous air
Wondering about where
Is that eyeball?
I search at the hall,
Nothing solid is there at all.
I look for it in the kitchen,
what I find is three piece of grilled chicken.
I throw myself in my bed,
shaking my head,
Not sure about what is coming ahead.
Body and soul, I am half dead.
I dwell with an aching heart,
With my inner world falling part.
That creepy eye is out there
Somewhere,
Making its constant stare.
In my dream,
I scream!
The eyeball becomes a shadow
Outside my window.
It hangs near the oak tree
While I try to make my day.
To the Divine, I pray,
Please take the spell away!

Very good, Jingle.
A little mixture of tenses though:
"when I try to touch it,
It [was] not there.
I [searched] in the hall
nothing solid is there
I [looked[ for it in the kitchen,
what I [found is].....
I just can't help it sometimes. I should have been an editor or teacher.
Just tell me to MYOB if you want. I won't be offended.
I hope I don't offend you.

thank you for your comments on my blog. I always appreciate them.
wow that was wickedly fun! Loved it :)
Thanks for the correction,
English is not my first language,
I did thought about these,
No offense at all.
I Welcome any comments.
Learning a new language is not easy. I think you are doing an amazing job, Jingle. Keep up the good work!
Fun and spooky as the same time. I really enjoyed it.
Jen,
Thanks a bunch!

Scary fun, Jingle! Haunted houses always make you think someone is watching you! (Someone probably is!)
that actually sounds creepy... now I am scared that an eyeball would be watching me :P well written :)
Wow, good and creepy and funny, too.
Awesome! I wish I was that talented to write poems, I've tried but they don't always sound so eloquent.
That eye would give me the creepies :).
I'm sorry a while back you asked what my blog was here is my main one, I sadly don't get to the cupcake one that much any more.

You are very talented!

A GREAT magpie poem ---- It has that magical unnerving creepy scary feel to it -- wonderful just wonderful.

whoooosh. I just broke the evil eye spell!! You should start feeling immediately lighter and happier when you read this comment.

Happy belated Mothers' day!!

Oh, My,
Jannie, your eye is very beautiful.
thank you for being the goodness saving me.
you rock, girl!
xoxo
You are very talented. Poems are not easy to write. Fun.
Fun rhyming pattern, Jingle. Hey, the blue eye is supposed to ward off the spells!
Nice to see you, Dear Willow!
Yes, Blue eye is cool!
whoa i love that photo
I seen it as it seen me
I look once again as I do see
The eye of the Universe is well Aware
I look again and it gives back a stare
But for me it is outside and cannot go further than that
I leave it alone as that is where its at
enjoy Jingle and Happy Thursday to you(+)
soulbro*:)
Whoops meant to say Happy Tuesday as Thursday is just as good too..
soulbro*:)
it was strange, the good kinda strange, unique in its own way. really, I enjoyed it.
No Problem, Dom*.
nice To see you and hear your kind remarks, Maha!
There is nothing worse than someone eye-balling you...especially in the death of night!
Great Magpie Jingle!
You do wonderfully well in English; better than a lot of native speakers. Good for you.
Your poetry was a good choice to capture the feeling of being haunted.
Fun take on a fun theme!
I love how a photograph gives birth to such creativity! I would definitely NOT want to have a spell like that to deal with!
I love your poems so Awesome !!

The eyeball seems to be bringing out the creepy in everyone. I like this Ji. Good work
