Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

The Little Ghost

There once was a sad little Ghost, 
teased for his fright-less boo -- 
unable to scare anyone, in fact,
attracting many a bull 
(sounded like an amorous moo) 

Oh, that poor little ghost! -- his white sheet always blue; 
Maytag man suggested bleach: agitated back and forth~ 
Screech! Screech! Screech!…


(The saga of the Sad Little Ghost. Add to the saga in your comment: for example, the boo to the owl sounded like hoo...so he showed up with his Plagiarism lawyer~ etc.... The Witch heard the call as brew, or stew, so she got off her broom to prepare more gloom....)

Hilda Greenhough October 20, 2023 at 9:19 PM That would be very bad luck to, not only die, but then to fail as a ghost. This was a light enjoysble poem. Joseph P. DiMino October 21, 2023 at 6:49 AM Hi Hilda; I think that with all the real horror going on in this world, my mind said: today, don't go there...so, something on the cute side. A subconscious way of coping I guess. Blessings my friend.

Evelyn Judy Buehler October 20, 2023 at 11:44 AM Here is my addition to the saga, Joe. 'The boo to the robin sounded like shoo, so, startled, away it flew.' This was fun! A great poem. :) Joseph P. DiMino October 20, 2023 at 12:58 PM ...so startled away he flew...is this true?:)) And I hear the Bird-brain so insulted, he is now threatening the Ghost to sue. Thank you, Evelyn. Blessings.

Hiya Sharma October 20, 2023 at 7:40 AM Awwn, that little ghost is adorable! Maybe too innocent for the eerie world and therefore mocked by the fellows.. A very interesting poem this is and I love the creativity that you've showcased here with captivating wordplay.. The story of a Sad Little Ghost.. You really played with the ambience of this season very well & this can become a micro tale, easily.. Amazing! Joseph P. DiMino October 20, 2023 at 7:53 AM Thank you, Hiya . Play along if you feel inclined. What the heck -- all in harmless fun. Blessings.
