Sense Sonnet - Chiller

Madame LaLaurie

Madame LaLaurie, southern belle,
In her New Orleans mansion threw
Great lavish parties known so well,
An 1830's do to do.
But one night when a fire broke out,
The locals found a horror scene,
Tortured and murdered slaves, no doubt
Proving the Madame as mad mean.
The Madame disappeared that night.
Her whereabouts were never known.
Her mansion still remains a fright
For passersby walking alone.

From the mansion sometimes there seems
To come the sounds of phantom screams.
