For Sacha’s Writespiration this week, I was trying to think about when I was ‘on the edge’ as that is her prompt, then I remembered something very special, an event that happened when I was about seventeen.
After you have read it for the first time, you might want to go back and sing it, as it might make more sense! (I don’t want to give it away right now)!
It’s close to midnight
And something special’s just about to start
I’m so excited
I can feel the rapid pounding of my heart
I’ve stayed up late
Just so I can watch this special moment
Never before
Had something like this happened on tv
Only in movies!
Yes it was Thriller, Thriller night
And I was sitting there, right on the edge of my seat
You know, killer, Thriller night
The moment had arrived and it was
Perfect, amazing, that niiiiiight
Zombies and undead,
creeping from their graves in the dead of night
Michael and Ola,
Walking home under the full moonlight
He starts to change
But first of all, she doesn’t seem to notice
Then he looks strange
As she looks at him
Right between the eyes
He’d been Zombified!
Yes, it was Thriller, Thriller night…..
I remember looking forward to every single video he released. He was genius. Great take on his song…I was singing along. ☺

Judy sister, what can I say! Now you even own a villa in my heart!😘💖 You know that I am a huge fan of Michael💖 I was sitting in front of the TV waiting impatiently for MJ’s video. It still is legendary and was the first one of this kind. Now to your poem! 👍👍👍

I like how you took this in a figurative direction! I remember Friday nights when I was a child, we had a local scream theme on public television. I usually feigned interest and then fell asleep before anything too scary happened.

I think it’s because I loved Michael that I could watch thriller otherwise, scary movies do just that, ‘they petrify me.’ I like the light way you wrote it in a poem. Not jumping into scary things that would make my skin fall off my bones 🙂

I am glad you enjoyed the poem Jacqui. It was a fantastic video, even though I am not great with spooky stuff either!

I couldn’t guess where this was going till AFTER the fifth line because until then, it sounded like something else entirely.:-D 😀 😀
I loved Thriller, not that I care for zombie movies any time.

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
