OMG - Grace...what a poem.....funny in a dark way......
Always love your competition, dear Kitty!
Every Day
************
I swear I see you…like every day!
I mean I wake up, and you are there
your hair gleaming in the morning light.
And weirdly enough every time I think about you,
I see you walking through the crowds,
being coy like you always were.
People doubt me, tell me I don't see what I see,
but I swear it's you! I would recognize you anywhere.
Anyways, I saw you followed me to the theater,
I saw you two rows back!
Wasn't that movie a nail biter?
We used to watch those all the time,
too bad I didn't save you a seat next to mine.
But then I went to eat at the restaurant we love,
and I promise I don't only go to our old haunts,
it was just one of those nights,
which was perfect, because you sat and ate a table away.
I grabbed a taxi home, and I was shocked,
we almost hailed the same one.
Funny how that happens.
Anyways, tomorrow morning I think I'll go to the store
and grab one of those huge bouquets,
the ones I give to you on our anniversaries,
and I will head over to see you.
I know it's supposed to be raining,
and the church gates might be locked,
but nothing could keep me from coming to you,
it's our 50th year together,
and I miss you so much.

I have been locked out of submitting to competitions.
This means if I judge this one...I cannot add a comment at the end. I have written the administrators asking for a reason and have heard no response. I have a message saying that I should judge this competition - but it is not possible.
So kindly wait until I hear from the administrators as to
why I am having these difficulties and then I will be happy
to judge. At the moment it is impossible.

Thank you all for the win...I really worked hard on that poem, "My Ghost Lover" as it's form (Sestina) is new to me. Although I'm not expecting to win at all because all the entries were equally good, I bow in humbleness to everyone and would like to thank Kitty (somelikeithot) for this challenging competition!
