The Ghost Of Mary

The Ghost Of Mary

A Poem by Eric Cox

From out of her grave she rose

Heaven has no place for her she knows

her soul must walk the earth-

in a dark rebirth

from out of the cemetery-

came the ghost of Mary

down a lonely road-

her ghostly image flowed

into the house she used to own-

her haunting presence became known

nothing in her house was the same

and in her soul she felt the pain

then in her an unholy fire began to burn

and on this family she would turn

she made knives fly through the air

blood flowed with each tear

they died by her ghostly hand

and her ghost will forever haunt this land.

This certainly has a good rhyming scheme, flow and an atmosphere of dread and tension. It would be even better, if this piece was a little longer, perhaps? The wording is certainly appropriate, for a poem with this sort of theme.

Whilst reading, your creative descriptions help me to imagine this scenario, as if you were portraying a real-life legend or memories! Thankyou, for sharing with with us. And, for entering it in my latest Contest!
