Ghost Town (acrostic)

Postby Cindy » Fri Feb 20, 2015 4:11 am

Gone, are the people
Hollowed-out their shells
Only memories remain
Staring with invisible eyes
Together

They populate the empty spaces
Outcast spirits
Who haunt
Nobody

Wonderful imagery, Cindy, I see see the tumble weed dancing the streets. A well crafted Acrostic.

truly a sad piece Cindy - is there anything more pityful than 'ghosts' that have nowhere, no-one, no motivation to haunt - it reminded me of the goodness knows how many people in many countries round the world at this turbulent time on our history, all refugees trying to stay alive. This haunts where they don't. A proxy haunting...
well crafted!

Very well crafted acrostic and the image I really like most is 'hollowed out their shells and I find this haunting too Cindy.
