Tania Kitchin Poet Rhyme

The Old Victorian Inn

Every day on my shore walk, I walk by a beautiful old dilapidated Victorian Inn 
It’s been vacant for many years since a rumored double murder happened within
Today, oddly, I notice a light on inside as I cautiously walk to the front door
I enter the inn and see the ghost of an old Sea Captain, as I pass out on the floor
I come to, feeling foolish, as a fluffy tom cat starts purring and licking my face
Until I hear the old Sea Captain tell me my room is ready to stay at his place

Carolyn Devonshire October 15, 2020 at 10:43 AM I like this, Tania, but it read more like prose than poetry or it would have taken a first. The story behind the poem reminded me of a 1945 novel called "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir." Congratulations on your win! Best wishes, Carolyn Tania Kitchin October 15, 2020 at 11:42 AM Thank you Carolyn
