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 8/29/19 Contest: Halloween Fright Night Sponsor: Carolyn Devonshire Contest: Writing Challenge 3, August 2019 - Six Lines Sponsor: Dear Heart- Wiishkobi Ode

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
