Ghosts

Tears I wept In mourn for thee My love Bereft of rest Bereft of comfort I kept it My love Buried in cemeteries Between bones Under shaded tree Where daisies lay In memory of our ghosts In our crooked room hiding pennies Wishes That are now ghosts too

I enjoyed the pacing. Especially when you said “bereft of rest, bereft of comfort”. “In memory of our ghosts, in crooked rooms hiding pennies” is a beautiful line of poetry.

Like our memories, our emotions become lingering ghosts for those who we have lost. I like the metaphor. Well done! Thanks Andreanna.

Sad but well written, the short lines give more definition and intensity to the meaning of each. You should think about trying a "Shape" or "Concrete" poem sometime. They can be challenging but fun.

Thank you James. I haven't figured out the formatting to co concrete form poetry. I just barely figured out how to center everything! Work in progress.
