Comment from Gloria ....
Good one, J. They aren't called ghost writers for no reason and you have added the extra element of the ghost as muse that is commanding you to put quill to spill the story you have to tell.
Excellent contribution to the Free Versers club and a pleasure to read and review today. :)

Comment from Tina Crute
I don't know if you have grandkids or not, but if you do,your ghost tales would be a great hit! I just read your other ghost poem, and I couldn't believe the imagery it evoked! This one is great, too. It may have convinced me to try one, just to see if my brain will stretch that way:)
Thanks for sharing these memorable poems!

Tina, yes I do have eight little cherubs and they do love my campfire tales.

Oh, yayy! I am glad you have another audience to enjoy your tales! That is a poem waiting to be written...Eight little cherubs, sitting in a row, waiting for their grampa to put on a show. His words are thrilling, totally bone-chilling. You never know, how his story will go!
Comment from Susan Louise Gabriel
Great poem! The imagery is wonderful (and scary!) and the artwork equally so. You created suspense in just a few lines, and I was eager to learn the message of the ghost.
Well done!

Comment from royowen
This is an excellent free verse, and you've used the unique free verse, highly descriptive with articulate imagery, fancy that. This is one of your much broader poetry ability, byr writing a very high class free verse ability, beautifully written Jim, blessings, Roy

Comment from Chelle_GH
Thank you for sharing this excellent piece. The emotion that it exuded is not scary but it made me feel the longingness to reveal the truth through a written method.

Comment from Joanne Gill-Maddick
Awesome writing and quite creative. I heard a whoosh, felt A chill in the air, a ghostly figure evolves. I like how the photo suggests ghostly figure lurking around.

Comment from Marjon van Bruggen
This is fabulous! It is fresh, new, uses beautiful words and poetic effects, has a touch of mystery and is transmitting perfectly the title "Ghost writer."
One, insignificant comment:
...toward me, gazing every so intently... I would leave out the "every so". To me, it weakens the line. But you may ignore this, it is very personal. I liked this poem immensely as it is.

Comment from TommyWrites
This is such a clever write JLR.
I really liked the whole concept of the ghost telling you to write his-hers story before it's too late. I think in a strange way, every writer as a 'ghost' over their shoulder. I know I do, it's a tiny voice in my head telling me to write, write, write...You painted a picture with your words, and that picture turned into a story the more you read. This is a really good poem, and I throughly enjoyed it.
Thank you for sharing,
TommyWrites~
