Notes About The Poem

Fully Booked 1

The lovely bones are buried deep inside the cold and black hard ground, yet near the beast she always hangs around! Meanwhile, her loved ones worry and they weep. A pity they can’t know the ghost of her now daily plagues her murderer, because her spirit would not sleep! Written June 11, 2016 for the TITLES OF NOVELS Contest of nette onclaud Title used is "The Lovely Bones" (Alice Sebold) My poetry form rhymes a/b/b/a/c/c/a. The syllable count from line one to line seven is 8/8/10/10/10/8/8.

I really like how you expressed the bad karma returned to the murderer in the guise of being haunted by her ghost! This is what comes of writing poems often....the words seem to come so easily for you. A great write! #7 ; )

Did not read "The Lovely Bones" but saw the movie, and it's the type of story that sticks with you. You captured crux of the matter, great write!
