What is a ghost?

by Dawnie   Sep 5, 2008


What is a ghost?
an emotion suspended in time?
a victim trapped in amber?
a blurred photograph?
an old movie played over and over
in an empty theater?
something that is dead but somewhat alive?
so what is a ghost
it is what i am.

    The last line of this work sometimes strike me as not feeling right...yet, its overall feel of delivery engages with the seemingly right words and syntax to the point the reciever is caught within its whole scaple sharp carved simple but deep presentation. Making it certainly above a mere "4". It may not be an unique poem in format and contents, but like a good Blues tune,catches/ it embraces something that is both the poet and its receiver, thus making it a delight to experience!
