I enjoyed this acrostic Dean, although I must admit I really don't like to read horror poems. At least Andrea's Ghost is a bit mild compared to your previous posts. Happy New Year.

Happy New Year to you as well, Nassus, and I appreciate you taking a look, even though horror isn't quite your cup of tea. Much appreciated. :) ~Dean
Comment from Margaret Snowdon
As always, Dean - I'm impressed...
not only an acrostic - not the easiest
of styles, but you've kept rhyme also...
good luck with the contest, my friend.
and A HAPPY NEW YEAR
Margaret

In my opinion a stunning acrostic poem, with an immaculate presentation.
Well crafted the story flows through within the restrictions imposed. I had got it into my mind that this was from way back in history and was just a little disappointed to learn that it was modern. (I don't know why)
Just a personal observation, still a great poem.
Happy New Year. :) Mel.

Well, my dear friend, you have not disappointed me, you have started the New Year with the most daunting of poems. I do like ghost stories, we have so many in parts of Cornwall. Some have seen whole battles take place between the smugglers and the police back in the early 1900s and Cornwall is a place that honestly hasn't changed much over the centuries. It's the perfect place for terror writers like you!!!! This one is a perfect Acrostic, and I wish you the very best of luck. Have a wonderful gruesome 2015! LOL. xsx sandra

Hi Dean, well you're back to your brilliant storytelling, except this isn't a story it is the truth, you have a fair old lot of Ghosts around you as we here in Worcestershire also do, perhaps one of them is your muse! Great entry for this acrostic competition and I wish you the very best of luck my friend.

This sounds suitable cryptic and eerie for one of your works. It would seem dear Andreas Ghost got her revenge on the people who turned on her and took her life. Payback is a bitch.

Is this true Dean? Excellent rhyming acrostic Dean, I though I was the only one who writes rhyming acrostics! You connected the lines beautifully, I think they call that enjambment, anyway I loved it, beautifully written, a nice piece of poetic, I'm capturing the "in" reviewing descriptions, I've just renewed my membership, completed my first 12 months, learnt a lot, still don't know how to put poems in an embellished box! Well done, mate, HNY, ROY.

Hah, thank you Roy, and I could easily teach you everything I know about computer graphics, my friend. The only problem is that I'd need you right here with me to do it, LOL.
I think you do outstanding work, and you're fine just the way you are, Roy.
Thanks for your kind and complimentary review, and yes, it is based on a true story. ~Dean

Your author notes stand out as the poem does. Very interesting background. I've never experienced a ghost, but I know others who say it's for real. Love the whole presentation. It creates a more effective feel. The last verse really gets into the insanity of it all. Well penned. Les
