Ghostly Figures Roundel

the ghostly figures plea is to attend  
the mantel of life, to be and to see
if they are forgiven, needing a friend,
the ghostly figures plea.

heavy hearted, weary to be set free.
moonlight filters many shapes to amend, 
listening to Satan, not meant to be.

these figures once had a garden to tend, 
ignoring the warning ate of the tree,
now evicted, their souls can not prehend 
the ghostly figures plea.

This is a perfect entry into the contest! I had written a Roundel that isn't based on her topic for the contest, because I needed to try it out! I hope I can write one as good as yours here! You really did this form very nicely! I enjoyed reading this amazing poem this morning! Quite the masterful piece, Great Work!!
