Now You See Her Now You Don't

Missing image

Dedicated to all into Ghosts of the past!


The winding staircase of old,
Invited those past or present,
To ascend or descend and story unfold,
Of how they came and went..

The thin balustrade spindling, winding,
Eerie ambiance clearly unfolding,
The ghost of a lady robed in white,
The first to descend on the staircase tonight.

From top to bottom heaven to hell,
Where does this lady in white really dwell,
The subdued and dim lowly light,
Lead the way that for her was right...

He pushed her to her untimely death,
Such was the consequence of his wrath,
As he suspected she loved another,
Now she dwells apart from him or her lover...

Once she was the lady of the manor,
Her untimely passing took her over,
Now she haunts the spot where she died,
There she dwells eternally tied.

    beautiful write. nice flow and story in your poem. i enjoyed reading it and i am glad i checked it out! i am one to believe in spirits and what people label as ghost. i just love the thought that after life is with us. i have always been interested since i was three years old and saw a ghost in our house. at first i was scared, but i actually started to play with girl which still haunts our halls today. i just see shadows now, and i dont remember much from when i was younger, but mom has pictures and videos of me interacting. everyone that stays the night hears the spirit walking through the house or her in our kitchen moving things around. it is fun to spook my friends with

    I think this is the best of the haunting three Again excellent verse. There are not many people who can write like this, All your rhymes are strong and there is very little forced rhyme or excess word play to make the poem work.

    Did like the way this tells such a sad story. Great use of appropriate descriptive detail really brings this to life - if that isn't a contradiction! Good luck in your contest. Cheers.
