SELF DEPRECATION

SELF DEPRECATION 

I heard
A little
Giggle
That of all
Such
Was 
The cutest
I ever
Heard.

Looking around
Me
I noticed
I was
Alone...

Where then
Could the
Giggle have
Come from?

Was I
In company 
Of
A ghost?

I wondered
As I walked
About
Peeking
In shadowy
Corners
Ready
To find
Someone
Out...

Goosebumps 

Formed
On my arms
And my
Breath 
Came out
Short.

I sure 
Was
Afraid 
Of I
Don't know
Who or
What!

I walked
Three times
Around
Without
A sound.

Then of 
A sudden
The Giggle
Again...

I started
At my 
Wits' end...

It struck me
Then
I was by
Myself
So the
Little laugh
Surely
Was
My very
Own!

How pretty,
Hauntingly
Ridiculous!
