That Night

That night
was a horrific sight.
The neighbors next door
are relatively a bore.
Nothing is heard from them.

But came one evening,
a night the Towns Children were sleeping.
The Adults were awake working,
the men overworking,
the Women at home.

The old house on 4th
was normally quiet in the north.
On that night however,
despite the roaring rain of December,
shrieking of a Woman was heard.

Once, twice, and thrice,
her shrieks were many not nice.
When the Adults came out to help,
quiet the night was - void of the yelp,
as if all imagined the banging of front door.

No one knew of the reason
to which the Woman was screamin.
All they knew was that rare horrific shrieks
only come from the old house that creaks
in the north on 4th.
