Spirit Of A Woman Poem by LeeAnn Azzopardi

Spirit Of A Woman

Rating: 4.8


I heard her crying
But when I turned around
There was no one there
And all I could hear was the wind
Then her voice echoed once more
I looked but again; saw nobody
Was I in a dream?
Or was it real?
Then the rain began to pour
I saw a glimpse of an indigenous woman
Holding a dead baby
Still comforting it, as though, it was alive
As she faded away
Her voice repeated the sorrowful cry
As the rain stopped
There was no sound then
Not even the wind
Soaked, I walked to the camp
Then I heard the story

Well, this is a really good poem without a doubt. Kind of freaked me out. I thought I saw the ghost too
