Notes About The Poem

Ghost sculpture and photographer lady by bing.com

The Cloaked Ghost

Ghost
Gothic
Eidolon,
Sovereign king
Tears begin flowing.
Byzantine abandoned.
The cloaked statue sits and waits. 
The tourist lifts her head and sighs.  
Phantom’s pain she feels his suffering.
Hand on her forehead nods from side to side.

Labyrinthine journey stirs stark madness.
Intruders’ rash and reckless taunting  
Grey-sky midst morning mystifies. 
Glowing - white - apparition 
Clicks, flashes, from tourists.
Take focus of the
Timeless undead
Cloaked statue
Haunting
Ghost

Timeless has two syllables and the stress is on the first syllable/ undead has two syllables I can’t always rely on syllable counter, it's total says 5!
