[2021] Ghost Town
Children laugh and sing
rule the streets in play
Ghost Town
Nervous smiles on happy faces
You can almost hear them say
Here in Ghost Town
we promise not to get in your way!
In ghost places
it's just another quiet day
with no one around for miles;
everyone was scared away
rule the streets in play
Ghost Town
Nervous smiles on happy faces

Dear JB,
I had an entirely different take on this write from the labels attached. I envisioned a literal ghost town and dead children playing freely. Now I see another thought process and it’s sad because children should be free from this burden and if they’re hiding to protect themselves from bullies, ugh. That’s so sad. Poetry at its best. H🌷

Question is, what truly haunts abandoned places. Thank you for sharing your thoughtful impressions, Honoria.

Gotta love the mystery and history of a ghost town. Something always lurks in the corners whenever we're not paying attention.
Great work JB.
Great work JB.
Where's Shaggy and Scooby Doo? We've got some work to do now! Thank you, Wally.

silent hill or courage's middle of nowhere?
I don't want to be in neither of these places :D

It could very well be here. DUP was a lot busier from 2014 to 2019. I just saw a tumbleweed roll by . . .
