House Upon the Hill
dusk arising said:

Oh i want to go inside and experience whatever it is which gives the place such an air of mystery. Why? you may ask.
To be inspired to write a poem about it of course, just like it has inspired you to write such a delicious mystery.

It\'s weird, but I personally related this to more of a state of mind rather than another person. Thanks for the great art!

Beware!
Tamara Beryl Latham - The Poet said:

The poem has a nice cadence and the message of \"beware\" is a good one for all the trick or treaters.

Great imagery and rhythm complement this scary Halloween poem. Great job! :)

The Anniversary
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Thanks for sharing MICHAEL ~ mucho spooko ! An elegantly penned POEM replete with RHYME (Couplets) and RHYTHM ~ but a sad sad narrative ! Stanza 1. Waiting does breed anxiety. I once waited four hours for a Lady ~ but she did materialise ! S 2. Patience turns to sorrow and anger ! S 3. Mayhem & Destruction and the single candle to depict loss & loneliness ! S 4. GONE but never ever forgotten. A Friend of mine was discovered DEAD on His Wife\'s grave on their 10th Wedding Anniversary. Not SUICIDE ~ but a BROKEN HEART !
Thanks for your comment it put an agonising ode into perspective. It reminded me of MISS HATHAWAY in Charles Dickens ~ Great Expectations ! Thanks for sharing ~ Yours BRIAN. Please visit our Fantasy Poems Sonnets 1 2 & 3 ~ Thanks B !
WHAT STATE ARE YOU IN ? (Of the USA !) there are so so many INDEPENDENCES !

Dinner for Two and Death Would Like Tea
Tamara Beryl Latham - The Poet said:

Michael, this is a great gothic poem with the writer\'s theme on death was cheated as the focal point. The imagery coincided with the scary read. Wonderfully penned. :)

Stranger at My Window
Tamara Beryl Latham - The Poet said:

The poem is hauntingly beautiful, although dark and it holds the reader\'s attention till the very end, where there\'s a dramatic twist. A joy to read.

Thanks for posting. :)

The Fisherman of Fright
Snowflake Incorrigable said:

Amazing Poem, fantastic actually, loved the end as well but doesn\'t the powerful imagery of the mysterious stranger suggest a sinister presence. How can the reader not conclude otherwise.

Great piece, if I knew how to favourite a poem I would this.
Thanks for a wow! poem.

SLR said:

This is a little like a short story of mine. The little girl is murdered and left in the woods. Her body is never found. She tries to reach out to other people over the years, especially children because they\'re more open to accept paranormal situations. It was actually based on an old unsolved crime. I really like this post. Great flow.

Your poem definitely has a Gothic flair to it. I like the mysterious and ghostly theme which leaves me wondering what happened to the playmate who came by the window and disappeared within the eerie woods. This poem has good rhythm and flow. ~ Sonia

Augustus said:

Delightfully eerie. As the poem started out I thought the boy was being seduced sexually, or at least that is where my mind went. Turns our he was seduced emotionally, or better, he felt strongly toward this person and to this day misses her. Reads well.

Augustus said:

I once thought about killing my first wife. I was so upset with myself I asked my buddy, a psychologist about it. He asked me "Have you killed her?" I ansewerwd "no". "Don't worry" he said. "That's normal." I believe that people who are truly honest with themselves would agree with your premise. Great write and commentary.

Great read. I think this really reflects on the societal views displayed through media each day. I like that you left it opened ended as to let the reader decided what to think and not try to decide for them. Like always, great job!

P.X. Vexxus said:

I like the thought involved in the poem. I would say she isn't guilty, for we all have thoughts, but don't carry them out. However, you can never really know...can you? ;) I believe we live under a justice system that is guilt before innocence, and thus, freedoms and liberties are taken away from those who have done no wrong. I have a poem like this, "Guilty". Check it out, I think you'll like it. :)

In my opinion this speaks volumes. As a child who went through abuse, you really pull at the heart strings

Michael,

You really outdid yourself on this one! I love the personification of death and the articulate imagery. I'm not sure if this was your intention, but it's worded as if the narrator kills death. I found it a very amusing and insiteful finish to this piece.
What lengths one will go to, to survive. I suppose the other way you could look at the ending is the narrator is discussed because he wanted to die, but he went through the feat. of the tea because he's scared of his fate. Please tell me what you intended, especially if it is neither of them! Again, great work

Your message came through clearly and by morning some one was going to have a knife in the chest. And yes boy/girl--mom/dad/ uncle Fred. Thanks.
