I read a news the other day
About an empty town
All the folks they stay away
For a ghost comes around
…
I also read about a family
Happy and tightly-knit
All of them died mysteriously
They blame it on a spirit
…
I heard a horror story
Yesterday on the radio
A sweet girl named Dorie
Vanished in the middle of her show
…
I don’t know what to make of it
‘Tis a tremendous shame
They’re calling me all sorts of things
They really could use my name

Poetry is not something that I’ve explored since high school. You’ve definitely excited my taste once again!
Thanks frank, I’ll be following your work from now on.

For saving our land , we form religion, to get a sense of unity, and for that religion to last long , we made laws and rituals…….and for saving our religion from foreign invaders we form government, and for saving ourselves frm excessive govt we form a movement….this movemnt sometime called ULFA, LET, JEM, left wing, maoist….and for saving our kids to drag into this movemnt we form AFSPA
Wht we all r doing , we should hv a frm ideology….whn a sngl blood drop falls on earth , it should hv a reason behind it…but now a days ceasefire are escaltng , i dont know y only for few votes thy utter sm nonsense wrds and our jawaans suffered…yestrdy i was readng the hindu , there i found a grl of 12 crying because her fathr ( martyr) died during ceasfire attack

Ok. I’m old fashioned. I know there are lots of forms of poetry, but I really enjoy poems with rhyme and rhythm. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful work.
