Premium MemberAn Amiable Apparition

In the old city of St. John's,
in the older neighborhoods,
there are haunted houses...
residences with revenants... 
apartments with apparitions...
even schools with spectres;
and there is one edifice with an eidolon
that I know well:
a softhearted shadow
very benevolent,
not at all maleficent.

It is supposedly the ghost of a child
who passed many years before;
a tale from days of yore
not well-known in

The Vessel pt 1 - A Blighted Vale I

The Vessel pt. 1 - A Blighted Vale (pt 1/2)

A solitary figure off the beaten path,
The air a palpable gloom
Be it mortal or shade of someone passed,
No longer in want of a tomb
Betwixt a shuffling gait and steady pace,
A sole impression leaves foliage displaced
This mark being the only telltale trace
It may be of flesh and

An Apparition That Will Not Visit

Every night
I sat up waiting
and waiting
for you to
sweep me up
from off my feet
instead you
would always
vanish away
into the shadows
from which you came from
without a trace
never leaving behind
your footprints
or a letter written to me
telling me
that you were here

Premium MemberBeautiful Apparition

When I first saw you, you were standing
beautifully in a river of moonlight.
You had appeared as if from out of nowhere.
Lonesome you seemed in the black of night.

But you were different, dressed all in white
and I was someone longing for a view -
the view of someone who’d be there for me
if it chanced to be

Feminism

The pride of the world,
have we stepped on with great hatred.
The whispers of the words,
have they buried in their various tunnels.

We no longer recognize their garment,
stabbing them greatly while they lament.
They hope to beautify on earth their fulfillment, 
Yet they are severed greatly with blandishment.

Women, the salt of the earth.
This have we seen,
yet we see

Premium MemberThe Twisting Tale of An Avian Apparition

"The discrepancies are many, the dalliances are few,
both pitched against one dynamic, lifelong achievement"

Poking through the woods of the Mill Grove Audubon Estate,
suddenly came upon an ivy-covered studio shed
tucked away amongst foliage near Perkiomen Creek,
apparently some artist's hidden haven, lost in time.

Passing through this rickety door to dilapidation -
sun shards were streaming through the cracks

The Absent Apparition

The Absent Apparition 

Weeping at the window panes, screaming through the locks 

Banging upon the ship’s hull, scratching on the docks 

Pounding on the headboard, rapping on the glass 

Sneaking up to scare the girls, as they run to class 

Noone sees his image, as he’s quick to hide away 

Leaving to your imagination, what

Forecast of a Dream
David J Walker

It was only an apparition from a 
Familiar haunting dream

One that is losing its power
To scare me 
concerning the future whose 

forecast changes like
the weather 
 
One that fills me with angst 
for trivial sins of the past

but at least and
	at long last

I am dreaming again 
With new daily sin

No Apparition

Was it a ghost or some apparition?
Jesus was there but in what condition.
     “Now please if you would,
     just give me some food.”
He ate some fish relieving suspicion.

“Why are you fearful can you not see?
I'm risen again it really is me.
     To make

Premium MemberMy Victorian Astronomer

An absolutely truthful account... (strangely, including the contest’s mandatory ’*’)

Twas something like nineteen seventy seven
I saw a guy on a bridge gazing at heaven...
I was sat fishing, set up for the night
The night that that fella would give me a fright

A full moon aglow in an ebony sky
Permitted the sight of that very strange guy
He

Premium MemberApparition Approach

1.
You're obscured by maze hedges,  I'm approaching
Creeping around  greenery's edges, encroaching
2.
You'll know when adventure's uncovered, I'm here
 Meet where destiny weds us, fate encroaching
3.
Absorb how I've worked for you, take it on board
Finally, place for tender touch encroaching
4.
No shears were used, I went the long way to find
Ideal man, no sad pretender encroaching

Premium MemberMidnight Apparition

In another day we grew up
me the forced ego
me the unchosen one
me the vagabond
and you
you, with your brown hair
you, with your purity
you, walking with a glad walk
you, swaying and smiling
having a glad smile.
you, with a triumphant air
with no hostility
I never knew you so well
as I do today
I run to you.
you open your arms
and then you

Premium MemberVirgin Mary Apparition At Mejugorje

Between the mountains 
Virgin Mary Mother of Jesus
Appeared to six 
Faithful in Mejugorje

and a little child shall lead them
in this case
six of them

prayer conversion, fasting, 
penance, peace
all the things that could right the world
bringing Catholics to a stronger faith
but not for only Catholics, for all believers

Catholic pilgrimage 
Inspired by six little children
“and the little children
