An exciting story about a ghost and why she haunted the woods. A sympathetic character, for sure, but still a fearful specter. You built your setting and character well, while delivering the story with a delightful rhyme.

Great job,
Rhonda

This story was well delivered. I think that the writing was perfect about the women in the story not being able to let her love go and also even in death she still could't let go, WOW! That explains just how powerful love and the spirit is together. Thank You Writer!

Your poem is very interesting, meaningful and entertaining. I enjoyed reading it. It is descriptive, it rhymes well and flows well with sadness. You used all the required words and It reads like a play or movies, I could visualize your words and your artwork choice enhanced your message. Best wishes!

Very well written poem, and quite timely with Halloween coming next month! I like poems such as this that are easy to understand - no nebulous concepts. I see you wrote this in response to a challenge. You rose to the challenge splendidly!

You did a great job constructing this poem around the four required words. The rhythm and rhyme are smooth and uniform. The words paint a picture of the frozen lady, now ghost, reminding the reader of similar legends we´ve all experienced.

Hello there, Boogie

Oh, this poem of yours is rich in language and full of ghostly, grey corners.

Most enjoyable, Indeed. The meteor is good, although perhaps because of my London accent, a couple felt a little jarred but overall I relished this from start to end.

Captivating and creepy!

I wish you luck in this contest.
kind regards

trimple :)

    Thank you for reading my poem and for this nice review. You are from England? My mom came from Bourne, a farming community outside of London. Do you know it? Thanks again.

    Hello there, Boogie

    I am from central London, yes. Never heard of Bourne before. I know Bournemouth. I have also not heard of a farming community here. At least not a live- in farming community.

    well, this was back during WW2 so I may have got the name wrong. My mom had to be coaxed to talk about her life there. I wish I knew more about where she grew up.

    Ahh! Okay, so quite a while ago now then... the war was over before I was born in 1961. Have you ever been to the UK?

    Sounds like mum may have had a rough time or sorts, if she finds it difficult to speak about her younger years.
reply by the author on 16-Sep-2020
    I've never been to the UK, although it's a dream of mine. Yes, she had a rough childhood....you are very perceptive. :)

    A war baby then...by the sounds...Must have been traumatic.

A very well-written poem about the ghost in the woods that wait there for anyone to join her in her lonely state where she was frozen to death in the woods near the town.
