The Thursday Think Tank # 69 - Haunted Houses

The 
house is 
haunted by 
a living ghost
who is certainly 
solid, eats, breathes and moves.
Though she's luckily alive
she lives not in this moment: her 
mind hovers half-dead in bygone past,
going dusty like an abandoned house.

    A chilling thought. Someone who is a ghost before her time.

    I wouldn't want to cross paths with such a ghost. Excellent take on the theme.

    Visiting a second time, this time from Poetry Pantry. I like the shape of this poem, and as Hazel said, I wouldn't want to cross paths with the ghost either.

    Powerful poem, a "wake up" call. If real I hope you reach her.

    I've met people like this and it's always sad. You captured her mental prison really well.

    Killed two birds using one stone. A nice etheree and a chilling message. Haunted is an understatement.

    Brilliant.
