John Loving Iii Poet I do not know?

I Saw

i saw with my own eyes
a hank in a space suit
a hank is a ghost
that if seen may scare you

it wandered from the cemetary
in a space man walk
i watched as i listen 
to my cousin talk

look lil johnny look lil johnny 
look lil johnny look
loud whispers my attention took
i gawked listened and i shook

looking without horror
and wondering where it will go
we kept same position
not thinking of missing the show

across the front yard
the thing went
while we looked for the head
and the axe

antisipating that it would 
turn and head our way
but staying at it's angle
it soon went away

i saw this ghost
with my own eyes
even knowing ghost stories
it was still a surprise

Carolyn Devonshire May 7, 2010 at 6:09 PM Are you leading up to the finding of your relative's grave that you mentioned to me, John? This is a great poem -- nice way to build suspence. Hope you are doing well, my friend. You've been on my mind. Love, Carolyn
