Hi everybody...I'm new and have been enjoying all your poems. Seems like this will be a good place to learn a few things about writing. Up until a few months ago I hadn't written poetry for quite a few years. For some reason, my "creative cycle" has kicked in again and I'm enjoying it. Hope you enjoy my submissions.

Sweet Hauntings

She came to me in a dream last night
with whispers from the past
Just like so many times before
a ghost within my grasp
Today her smile still haunts me
with such an aching glow
She came to me in a dream last night
but then she had to go


She came to me in a dream last night
her voice did seem so real
Just like old times she laughed with me
oh I can hear her still
Today her words still haunt me
Like echos from beyond
She came to me in a dream last night
This morning she was gone.


She came to me in a dream last night
And ran to my embrace
It seemed those bonds shared long ago
Would never go to waste
Today her vision haunts me
Like smoke before my eyes
She came to me in a dream last night
And then said her 'goodbyes'

Very sweet thoughts here. Your writing has wonderful flow like a song being sung in perfect rhythm and harmony. I am looking forward to reading more of your work.

I really liked the idea of your poem and the way you put it to words. And I love your name and sig...I, too, can throw nothing away. What if I want to look at it again someday.

Excellent, excellent piece. It surely could be a song. And your signature could so much be mine. Where can we get the cure?

I enjoyed this poem Mike. Good job. I only wish my "hauntings" were as sweet.
