Paula Goldsmith Poet Rhyme

Haunted Lighthouse

The night was very dark,
the rough seas gave out a bark.
Would our small boat the Ark,
make it in these tall waves or stay in park?
Then we spotted the light,
it was small and not bright.
Just a blink of white,
then out of site.
We finally got docked,
were told the lighthouse could not be unlocked. 
It was haunted many would say,  
we know the truth about that day.

Valsa George October 23, 2025 at 1:39 AM In the dead of the night when the sea is rough with roaring waves, a lighthouse serves as a beacon.

William Kelii Kekaula October 22, 2025 at 5:18 PM Spooksville, as one of our neighbors, was dressed as a clown, and the second-oldest boy was scared of clowns. She only took off the red, large nose and told him, "See, it's Mrs. Spillman!" She asked for a hug, and he smiled, although he didn't. Thanks for the memories. Aloha.
