Contest: Gate or Gates poetry contest, sponsored by Constance La France.
There’s an old, abandoned pet cemetery hidden near the woods At the end of desolate dirt road far away from neighborhoods It’s rumored to have a haunted grave, where apparitions appear at night Among the many old ghostly statues that during the day is a peaceful sight Eerie cries at night and groaning sounds are rumored to be heard Many believe it’s spirits of pet’s grief-stricken owners being stirred On nights with a full moon, gossamer glows on stones under the moonlight As sounds of barking, crying and meowing can evoke feelings of fright There’s a beautiful old worn rod iron gate that surrounds the cemetery grounds It’s kept locked and weeds have grown up over it as it remains closedown Many see it as a godforsaken haunted and now forgotten lonely place With painful memories of departed pets that cast an eerie light on the space At night the gate is guarded with dog spirits of a Doberman and a Greyhound And many have tried to capture the spirits on camera, but never to be found
