Meru Groen Poet Rhyme

The Haunting

The image fast painted and good,
adorns a naked wall.
Seeming like it is half-alive,
I think I heard it call.

If you're casually looking,
then it's looking elsewhere.
But if you are really looking,
it looks back with a stare.

I don't believe in ghosts per se,
but there is mystery.
Whether or not ghosts would believe,
in someone such as me!

Daniel Turner February 27, 2023 at 5:32 AM There are a lot of paintings that look like the person is watching you. I always thought it was cool. It never bothered me but then again I do not believe in ghosts either. An easy read, Meru. Meru Groen April 23, 2023 at 7:51 AM Thanks, Daniel, The painting of my friend's grandfather, hangs in her haunted-looking house. She also showed me pictures she took of orbs floating around the house. I appreciate your interest, and your comment, Meru.
