Distillery I Rented From John Stienbachs Ghost

It was a moment in time a fate of inspiration gifted I believe I was lifted a destiny in writing I would vibrantly pursue . Renting a cottage once in Monterey Bay this cottage special in some way The very minute moving.. I felt a presence giving me no serenity , no rest feeling I were a quest ~ After desiring this home so telling the Realtor ~ I made a mistake She told me be calm ~ many have said this before you ~ this haunt was not a new For once lived a Writer ~well respected Gent His cottage a distillery during the time of prohibition. Many Gents and Ladies came to this cottage unlawfully gamble & drink through the night Who would think , Doc Ricketts in Cane & Hat it was a party by moon light ~ In the back a distillery hidden in a old shed many Alcoholics were fed ~ The ghost popular quite the Ladies man ~ I was honored while feeling displaced For those who have not read my poems ~ and this may be new. This really happened ~ The ghost of John Steinbach rented me his home True Yvette & The ghost of John Steinbach's , Teamwork 9/14/2013
