Kim Rodrigues Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

A favorite movie of mine. 

The Ghost and Mrs Muir

THE GHOST AND MRS. MUIR

The lighthouse beacon where a captain lives
alongside the sea he loves. The ghost thrives — 
With relish he scares,
The ugly not fair,
Falls madly in love when widow arrives.

With gruff bearded spirit by candlelight,
Mrs. Muir taps on type paper to write
Of his time at sea.
He sells it all free.
The editor is awed by her ghost write.
