Comment from Thomas Bowling
Your poem reminded me, actually more than reminded. I had the same feeling come over me I had when I was a kid exploring the forest next to our farm and wondering what secrets it held.

I understand what you mean. There's something about walking in the woods that gives birth to all kinds of feelings. Thank you.
Comment from CrystieCookie999
For some reason I thought this had a lyrical quality. The line I liked the best was the second to last line: but it's the wind that's feared the most. Since that is the first sign that a ghost is coming, and the wind is probably 100% unpredictable, it would seem that if the wind picked up, the entire town/area would be on edge. Spooky story!

This is a very well written poem you have penned about the ghost of Readers Mill. You used very good descriptive words and very spooky imagery from the art work you chose. I don't think I want to go there! Thanks for sharing. love and blessings, Teri

No, I don't want to go there, either. Thanks for reviewing.
Comment from Gloria ....
Oooooh this is nice, Yvonne and particularly with the artwork that does have an indefinable ghostly form.
Love the legend's location, Old Reader's Mill too.
A most cool form and I can feel the chill of this Halloween tale.
eXcellent job with this. :)

Thank you for this great review. Reader, Arkansas, was where my father was born. It's now a ghosts town.

I always look to you to show me how to do a new form. I love how your first lines form a perfect monorhyme poem and then the rest fills in the story so well. Virtual six!

Comment from Phyllis Stewart
when two men came to settle bets,
and one would leave with deep regrets. <-- great lines!
This is a well-written saga of something that was rather common hundreds of years ago. Good job! :)

I looked up the rules and decided that was one I did not have the courage to try but you did so very well and the first lines do indeed make a complete poem

What an interesting poetry format -- new to me, but I enjoyed it very much with the way you used it. I might have to give this one a try sometime. Thank you for sharing!

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written Constanza poem about the ghost not reader's mill where one man was killed with regret by another. The one who died cannot come to rest and still today haunting reader's mill.

Really well done. I would say this is perfect. Perfect rhyme and great story telling. Good one for this time of year. I can't believe it is almost Halloween and then Christmas. NO!! It always comes to fast. Anyway, well done. Rox
