Haunted

National Poetry Writing Month prompt for April 10th: There's a ghost in my ______.

There’s a ghost in my house,
and he’s been here a while.
I conclude it’s my spouse
trying to get me to smile.

When the radio goes on
and the static begins.
I remember he’s gone,
but he gets me to grin.

Random clicks in the wall
next to my kitchen sink
are a courtesy call
from my ghost friend, I think!

There’s a knock in the floor
somewhere under my bed.
It's that ghost, nothing more!
No, it's not in my head!

Ten o’clock, every day
there ‘s a beeping alarm.
“Just the ghost,” I will say,
since it does me no harm.

Every once in a while, 
keys will just disappear.
When they're back, I will smile,
thank the ghost, never fear!

Whether haunted, or not,
in this house, things get weird,
but no reasons I’ve sought.
I just say, “Hello, dear!”
