Best Ghostly Poems

`

O’ crooked branch and magpie’s claw,
yon rusted chains a’ sway this night
Clutch tight a sign “The Seagull's Squall”
of splintered wood and storm clouds fight
Old tavern lone this craggy shore
where angered waves accost the sand
and drenching rains from heavens pour,
whilst thunder boasts its loud command

On creaking...

All one will ever need is you everlasting loyalty 
where a thousand teardrops are sourced 
glistening gems from the fountain they shall fall 
with the grace adorned beauty held within

That of a single tune striking cords deeply
Kissed by the oceans is the salt contained 
In...

on a ghostly night

princesses and "kiddy" cats -

alongside monsters -

scamper without a care

beneath a Halloween moon

In dreams she reaches for me,
She is me and I am her;
We walk a cemetery,
And she leads the way.

We stand at a mossy tomb,
And I see my name engraved;
I am her and she is me,
But which is living.

One night about 25 years ago
I was sat in my car at Cothelstone
Dx-ing on my CB radio in the wee hours
when my two dogs started to growl
every hair on their bodies on end
a most putrid smell entered my car
I heard the sound of hoofs churning
knowing...

The ghostly grippe on Zorro's goolies,
as the ghostly footsteps fall,
some old bugger called d'hoolie,
jerked his chain and was not enthralled,
gelded by the facination,
would he get her would he fall,
rising, falling, flaccid, hesitation,
Zorro needs some other's balls....

living with a ghost is easy
sometimes scary
       a bit hard on the nerves
               at times   but lovely too     ...

GHOSTLY DAD

new year’s eve
a ghostly frost coats his chair
front porch so still
car horns downtown
turn back the clock

new year’s eve
no moon    no starry night
no dad to share
in a sudden breeze
a leaf floats down from somewhere

early new year’s eve
the last trolley car dings by
that...

Pitter Patter on my wall, who is it
 I hear call.

 In my room I sit alone
 but I hear you send me a
 friendly bong.

 Are you telling me a tale
 of all who has stayed here alone
 as well.

 Oh my friendly titter...

ALARMING GHASTLY GHOSTLY HOST--
I saw an alarming ghost,
It wasn't all by choice;
I saw a scary spectre, 
swapping alarming for scary...entomb host;
swapping ghost for the spectre,
gravesite loyal protector;
~
I saw an alarming ghost;
I heard a ghastly ghost,
swapping alarming for a ghastly scary loyal host;

Ghostly presence seen nightly
When lighthouse illumes brightly
Fishermen claim to see her
Confounded old tars concur

Her lover swallowed at sea
by fierce waves, old tars agree
Lighthouse beam, sailors concur
Was gone, not even a blur

There once was a ghost from the past
Who thought being dead was a blast
He screeched down a hall
Causing one girl to fall,
And now her right leg's in a cast!...

Marooned on a tropical isle
I'm captive to an angry sea.
And it feels an eternity
imprisoned here without a key.

Loneliness saturates my heart,
but the rising tide ignores me.
For the waves cannot feel my pain
and have no wish to set me free.

I oft see a ghostly mirage,
like a...

Poesy- Raul Moreno's Picture

Witchly warts, indeed
a rare find, carve out the seeds-

I wasn't about ghost goblins or Ghouls
I thought Halloween was for kids and fools

Then one October much to my surprise
I watched from a gravesite a spirit rise

He came towards me my body just froze.
He flowed into my mouth down to my toes.

I could hear his...
