Photo and Poetic Fun

VJhumour, poetryhumour, photoshop, poetry17 Comments

I don’t believe in haunting
ignore the seasonal hype
wish the woman in the graveyard
would stop wailing every night

Someone get the girl a coat
doesn’t she feel the creeping cold?
And when I call the police on her
why do they look at me like I’m crazy old?

(Spending way too much time wiling away the hours.)

Love the poem…but the image? Ohhh….what’s the medium, VJ? I love the stained glass-like illusion and the haunting image — hovering by the monument in the center.

  Thanks. I use a couple of editing apps – Befunky and PhotoLeap. It’s fun to cut and paste images.

Your poem made me smile. The rhyming endings fit the tone so well. And I like the fractured art – reminding me of tombstones aging and hauntings…
