  • Mirror

    I saw the ghost in the mirror  And it sent me running out to clear her  The image was burned in my mind  But I also wondered if she was kind  I wish I had seen her clearer 

  • Cemetery

    She always believed in the supernatural  Waited for the ghosts to come  The ones who only ate mackerel   When no one showed, she only felt glum  Never knowing where to turn  And never knowing who to trust  She dove deep into herself  Forever or bust

  • You Look Sad

    “Are you sure you’re all right?  You don’t look like you are feeling well.”  I took Jasmine’s hand and jumped when it was as cold as ice.  Jasmine was hot-natured and most of the time her hands were burning up.  “I think I’m fine.  I mean, I am fine,” Jasmine sputtered out just before her…
