(the New Game) the Haunted Poets

last night i tried to sleep but each time i went i failed i heard the wailings of dead poets who begged me tell their tales their tales were very scary i tried not to listen but their pleas were very strong i said, i'd listen on one condition who could tell their story short but make it very strong who could rhyme with skillfulness and not be very long so i asked the poets Please; just one at a time and when you've finished your story tell us who's next in line. starting with you ms. carolyn devonshire (tell us your tale and pass it along to some one who will answer within 24 hours. if they don't answer; it's your responsibility to choose someone else. ) happy birthday carolyn.

John, I just submitted my poem and am challenging James Fraser to write a ghostly tale from Scotland. Thanks for coming up with this original idea. It was fun! Love, Carolyn
