Ghosts Poems
Haunted Seas
by Cale Young Rice
A gleaming glassy ocean
Under a sky of grey;
A tide that dreams of motion,
Or moves, as the dead may;
A bird that dips and wavers
Over lone waters round,
Then with a cry that quavers
Is gone—a spectral sound.
The brown sad sea-weed drifting

I Am a Ghost, a Soul Without a Form
by Oscar Auliq-Ice
I am a ghost, a spirit of the ages,
A phantom figure that never fades,
A memory of the ones who came before,
A whisper of the past that lingers more.
I haunt the halls of ancient ruins,
And wander through abandoned tombs,
I'm the echo of a voice long gone,
The distant notes of a forgotten song.

Some Say That Ever ‘Gainst That Season Comes (Hamlet, Act I, Scene I) -
by William Shakespeare
Marcellus to Horatio and Bernardo, after seeing the Ghost,
Some say that ever ‘gainst that season comes
Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated,
This bird of dawning singeth all night long;
And then, they say, no spirit dare stir abroad,
The nights are wholesome, then no planets strike,
No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm,
So hallow'd and so gracious is the time.
Whispers on the Wind
by D. M. Dale
As I lay here at night, in the soft pale moonlight
I hear from outside the wall,
The gusts, rapid and swift

I think, wondering, waiting-
Is it my mind mistaking
The cold whipping wind
Which upon ride your whispers to me

by Laurence Argyll Simon Noond
A shadowy wet, dark and desolate street,
Footsteps approaching! my hearts skips a beat.
Shop windows; winters rain trickling down,
A figure drifting by in a long crimson gown...
Eerie shadows cast by a lone gas light,
I begin to tremble, and shake with fright.
Something, someone touched my arm?
A voice whispering; I mean you no harm.

These are poems about shadows, poems about darkness, poems about shades in the form of ghosts and spirits...
Shadows
by Michael R. Burch
Alone again as evening falls,
I join gaunt shadows and we crawl
up and down my room's dark walls.

Cemetery Spiral Waltz
by Jessica Leininger
Old names break into pieces
Somewhere along the timeline
Like handmade pottery
Thrown at the ground
Or at the walls, or at the window
Or onto the ceiling, caught in the skylight
Thrown up
