little ghost
I see you
you old hall ducker
you old door banger
you see me
I see your fear
little ghost flees
through double doors
glides down the breeze-way
to hide and haunt
deeper halls
The Tired Monk
A little ghost afraid of a tired monk? Must be the billowing robes.
Oh this is a classic! Of course a ghost would flee before a bona fide monk as venerable as Old Ollie!
ReplyDeleteooooh, I love this and especially love the last line "to hide an haunt deeper halls" A ghost would be scared of a monk!
ReplyDeleteLove the voice in this, especially:
ReplyDeleteyou old hall ducker
you old door banger
I love it, Ollie. I have lived with ghosts, havent had time to write about it yet:)
ReplyDeleteWay to turn the tables! I expect those monk robes do look rather ghostly!

ReplyDeleteI love the idea that its the ghosts who are afraid of the living. The photo reminds me of the dormitory I lived in in college.
