This is a real creepy story. I like it. My favorite lines are, "I'll now not know another man.
His only, I will be.
And soon my screams will pierce the air.
His voice; the death of me."

    Thanks so very much...I loved what you said. It really was creepy, because these were actual nightmares I had years ago. Thanks again.

I suppose it is a woman's worst nightmare to be pursued by a male, even a ghost or a god; to be ravished by night and be abandoned by first light. Hence forth to be in his thrall. This is the stuff of legends and of this lady's poem. Surely be it man or woman, the only ghosts we need fear are those within us. Hauntingly, this poem might be a love poem. Who said love is eternal? -Ekim777

This sounds like such a scary thing to have to live with. I know it is not meant as a real thing but you have made a good ghost story in your poem.

Hi, Loanna,

You know, it's true. A voice can grate on you, scare you, or just plain tick you off. Definitely, scary is not good.

Great story in this poem as well. An excellent entry for the prompt. Good luck in the contest.

Cheers & Blessings
Keep Smilin'... Jax (*:*)

Love the premise and your approach for this poem writing challenge. You did a great job of slipping your "ghost" behind your story. The rhyming scheme really held it all together and made for easy reading.

Hi. Sorry to take so long to get to this, real world troubles. Wow. So very well written. I think you've hit it on the head. There is nothing more haunting or chilling than a scary voice. I can still here certain voices from my childhood that meant bad news. You're so right, just the sound of them triggered fear. Great piece. Good luck! mikey

Really nice ghostly contest entry paired well with artwork, and color scheme. I like the way you use "his voice" throughout and "...the death of me" to end your well penned poem. Nice progression, rhythm and flow, too. Thanks for sharing and good luck in your contest, Deb

LoannaLois;
+Picture is great and reflects, represents and along with complements your poem quite well.
+ Imagery is stunning and exquisitely expressive along with vividly descriptive throughout as it is a very chilling poem.
+ Rhyming quatrains done well with the rhyming words are contingent to the concept and thoughts of each line in which then makes the rhyming neither forced nor labored and helpful in the rhythmic flow.
+ Rhythmic timing, cadence, tempo and especially the meter were all helpful in making the meeting clear, fluid, smooth and easy.
+ Suggestion rewording a line: Your first line in the last verse may be helpful if it was written: "I'll (know not now) another man." hyou have it as "now not know".
+ I truly loved your poem because of your imagination which is gifted and truly inventive in ingeniously creative.
+ Good luck in the contest and may the good Lord be with you always.
Alex
