G is for Ghost
What spirit does your
Body house
Now that your ghost
Follows me,
Treading lightly at my heels,
Day and night?
Part of you keeps me
Company, poised on the
Side of my bed,
Waiting
High above the city,
While the other part
Forgets
Again and again.
I have no creativity when it comes to poetry. I leave that to my daughter. However, she is 17 and most of it is about the rain in her soul.

I really like this...both beautiful and eerie.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kelly!
DeleteThis is eerie... but I like it! I've always been a believer in ghosts. my blog: morgankatz505.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThis is the ghost of a person who's still alive. I can't decide if that makes it creepier or less creepy...
DeleteThis is beautiful, Kate. "poised on the / Side of my bed," gives me chills. Really nice!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dana! That means a lot coming from you :)
DeleteLOVE! The poem and the picture are both creepy. Nicely done.
ReplyDeletewow, love this!!!
ReplyDeleteooo I love it! Spooky but kinda romantic too. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fitting image to go with the theme of your post.
ReplyDeleteI could interpret your poem to be about ghosts or people in our lives who have ghost-like qualities.
Nice, Kate! Glad you shared your poetry :)
