Hello poets and poetry lovers. I am slowly getting into the Halloween mood now that the weather in the Northeast USA has taken on a decided crispness. In that spirit, I'd like to share one of my favorite ghost stories in musical form.
The Highwayman sang by Loreena McKennit, original poem/ lyrics by Alfred Noyes
You all know the drill. Share a piece of poetry as the spirit moves you, new or an old favorite. Take a little time to hop around the pond and see how the poetic spirit moves through the rest of our denizens. If you like something, don't keep it to yourself. Conversation and constructive feedback in the comments section is always welcome.

ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday everyone. Today I've shared a haiku that's open to interpretation.
ReplyDeleteHi Happy Tuesday! I have submitted a poem about autumn. You all will note that my name has been changed to ToniKanzen so those who never comment on my poems will know that Toni Spencer is me, when posted on Blogger.
ReplyDeleteI have added a little ditty on demons for the late October... lots at stake.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday! It has been a day of sinus surgery for my husband, and sorting through thoughts. Hope everyone has a great week!
ReplyDeleteMy inspiration tonight is the transformation of pumpkin to Jack O'Lantern. Hope you enjoy this tanka!
ReplyDeleteOh how I love The Highwayman! I was brought up on it, and much as I usually enjoy hearing Loreena McKennit, I wished for my Dad's voice declaiming it instead.
ReplyDeleteMy poem refers to a different story, with some similarity of theme.
