Ghost's Shadow Poem by Ikhalo Efose

Ghost's Shadow



Ever seen a ghost?
Ever seen a ghost's shadow?
If it existed it would be the nicest freakiest thing
i guess it would be white,
like transparent white linen,
as thick as cotton
and soothing as silk.
It would be tint as the cloud
attractive as a model
and yet scary as a figure seen in a darkroom
it would camouflage on the sun
creep up the stairs and creek most silently
making it more dangerous than a viper's venom
appears like a sheep but definitely a wolf
indeed as dangerous as weed is to a cornfield.

Really like this. A great poem, a good write. Take a look at my poem called the living and the dead.
