Melancholy permeates within the walls
The dusty books untouched by time
The ghosts pacing through these halls
Ancient titles printed upon their spines
They roams around lingering for awhile
Oh, such secrets these books conceal
If only they weren't hidden in piles
What Ancient stories they would reveal
The Vellichor of Canterbury Library
Is felt only by the ghostly apparitions
Patrons killed, sigh, it was so scary
By a crazed fella , with ammunition
Cobwebs, and spiders are their only friends
The books untouched , pages unturned
Yes, Melancholy never seems to end
The Canterbury Library sadly burned
The longing Vellichor of Canterbury
Is felt only by the ghostly apparitions
And the Ancient books of the Library
Long burnt down and now Nonexistent
The pile of rubble ,barren and cold
But to the ghostly patrons, books to read
Oddly these Ancient books of old
Can’t alleviate their longing needs

My daughter Bex's partner lives not that far from Canterbury Library .. and I am convince it is lived in by people that passed a very long time ago .. N
Wow! Didn’t know there was an actual library by that name! I just love the name Canterbury! Thanks for the read! Yes, I believe in spirits
sounds like one o them Canterbury tales if ya ask me 🙂
makes you want to go and feel it yourself
Thanks Ron, Canterbury Library was made up, but I do believe there are a few Haunted Libraries in The East Coast of USA
i would bet on it dove
New word education…You are at it again, Dove. I doubt I will remember them, but in the moment they are fun.
A neat piece with plenty of dusty musty atmosphere, plus violence and destruction.
So Matters Arising: Which Canterbury Library?; Where?; Dates of mass shooting and burning?......... or must I take ‘Category: Fantasy’ seriously?
Definitely Fantasy, though inspired by a paranormal Haunting of a library, and the ghost hunters that go to uncover its secrets! But , definitely trying to write something for vellichor! ! Thanks for reading
A fine write Dove.
There's 7 million books in The Bodleian Library in Oxford, I heard. We can read them all when we got 5 minutes spare.
Sooo - we are fast readers?! lol.
Impressive knowledge
My daughter told me yesterday that they have decided to get married in Canterbury next year .. now aint that lovely ... x
Congratulations! Hope it’s a lovely wedding!
