IT HAPPENED ONLY YESTERDAY

A screeching voice.

• IT HAPPENED ONLY YESTERDAY

  
  

  It happened only yesterday,

  About a half-past-four.

  I heard an awful screeching voice

  Behind the closet door.

  
  

  Not being one to seek out doom,

  I stood my place in fear.

  And then I thought I felt some drops

  Of salted little tears.

  
  

  What could it be behind the door?

  And should I start to run?

  Whatever made that screeching sound

  Could not be any fun!

  
  

  But as I turned to make my move,

  I felt a furry friend.

  It was my teddy by my side

  And so the dream could end.

So wonderful 💯 Love the end 👏🏻
Ohhh your poem brought so many memories of my childhood, fears, most of the time imaginary...and many times the presence of angels that I feel up to today. Wishing that teddy and angels bring only happiness to you Miss Sharon!
I hope all is great with you dear🌷

A teddy? I used to have a brown one as a child...it lie under my bed face up, and I used to imagine how mad it was to be down there, and that it had an angry stare so sharp it cut right through the frame and sheets and pierced my little heart.

I too had a brown teddy as a child...I still have him tucked away in my keepsake box in the attic! A girl never outgrows her first teddy bear. Thanks for stopping by Jacob. ~Sharon

Well I'm glad it was only a teddy and not a... A... I can barely make myself say it. A bat, or a scurrying thing, or a witch even! Now I'm turning every thought sinister and it's getting scary Biscuits! Where did the thought of flying zombie witches come from?
I think I'll just hide under the covers a while more! 😊
