What a great acrostic. It tells a riveting story. The enjambment makes for a fluid read, no distractions, it allows the reader to get deeply engrossed in Andrea's sordid act of revenge. Sent shudders up my spine. The art work and color choices make this almost three dimensional, literally sucking the reader in. Glad I had a six left. The only thing missing is the eerie music. Might want to add that if rules allow.

Almost any old location has its hometown ghosts. This is very well written Acrostic poem with a smooth flow of words, making for a very interesting read. Good job, Dean. Charlie

It is amazing how you find stories of the darkness, people hurt by others and still are looking and watching. Your poem is well written and still scares people with her sounds. Well done acrostic and history notes. Have a blessed new year! flylikeaneagle

Excellent Acrostic poem. Writing explaining ghost sightings.
Andrea Hope was a young witch who liked married men.
Necromancy lured Newtown's own Mayor to sin.

Dean: when I see a new posting from you, I'm excited and know that I will be delighted with the poem/story/scary thing. You never disappoint. This one is scary but fun and makes me want to go to Newtown and Bethel to see these apparitions. I'm out of sixers so virtual today. Until we meet again. Linda

Hi Dean,

How I love a good ghost story and this one is as intriguing as any. You did such a good job putting this into an acrostic. I love that the melody drove them insane.

Happy New Year,
Lou

Hi DeanO,
I enjoyed your ghostly acrostic poem, a good entry for the contest.
I found it interesting that the mayor himself was enticed to visit this bewitching floozy. What a great painting to compliment your write. And your author notes help us to get a feel for the story.
Are ghosts real? Who knows, eh? I have never seen one. But I did hear one a few months ago at work! High-heels tapping along ...on a carpeted floor! There is a tale of a ghost in the backlands of Grand Bay. There was a settler family by the name of Tillsdale, a brother and sister were all that was left. He was blind, and every night she would take him for a walk along the dirt road. She would hold his arm, and he would hold a lantern. Many have seen the lantern glowing as it moves along the road. Nothing as sinister as a witch who holds souls in one of Hell's steaming harbours.
Nicely penned!
Good Luck in the contest, my friend!
May this be a gloriously spooky year for Fanstory's Poe.

Thanks Dean and Happy new year. Your footnotes helped me understand this piece better. As you know I still don't like dark writings, I guess this is because I have had some awful things done to me in lifetime. Blessings for a new year
