The Girl at the Top of the Stair
A ghostly girl sits at the top of the stairโ
she rocks to and froโjust why, I donโt know.
You may not see her, but I know sheโs there.
I pray sheโll soon goโsheโs scaring me so.
ย
No whisper or sound; her sorrowful stare
is searing my soulโconsuming me whole.
I wish she could tell me what sheโs doing there.
Her rocking, so slowโit fills me with woe.
ย
I canโt see her faceโitโs driving me mad.
I donโt know her name, perhaps Iโm insane?
She seems so despondentโwhereโs her mom and dad?
My sadness, it growsโwhy doesnโt she go?
ย
My room fills with whispers, the temperature drops,
sheโs calling to meโI must go and see.
I hold out a candle, my heart nearly stops.
Just how can this beโthe poor girl is me!

To write a compelling poetic tale within the bounds of a specific rhyme scheme is a VERY difficult thing to do..... in this case ABAB.......and to keep finding the perfect words to convey the authors intent suggests that the author has one helluva vocabulary to work with...... and the skill to create phrasing that is uniquely his own.....A VERY difficult thing to do indeed!!...... Well done dear poet brother!!.....smokin' grooves!!...... LOVE and ROCKETS!!......T xo ???โดโดโค
Thank you very much for reading, Tony.
I appreciate it, bro', and I'm glad you enjoyed the poem found it to be entertaining.
Happy writing, my friend,

Excellent Dean, the rocking chairs are just no good, and on top of that scary little girl, I must admit I was a little freaked out! ????
Hahaha, that's good to know, Wayne. That means I was able to do what I set out to do.
I sincerely appreciate your comments, my friend.
Thanks again!

Hi Dean...this piece really gripped me..It had me thinking of all the mysteries associated with death and the hereafter...when do we know we have died? do we even know it is us that has died? Great twist at the end which it aย wonderful bonus !
Great work my friend! and pinned to read again and again!
