#TANKATUESDAY Weekly #POETRY CHALLENGE NO. 244 #EKPHRASTIC #PHOTOPROMPT

The
crying
ghosts recall
their names written
on sheets of paper
in the grim reapers book
he sits, checks over each name
the old grey walls longing for help
there was a time when they called them home
there’s one last name before the walls crumble

    1. Of course, he couldn’t possibly remember everything!

  2. Anita, I like your perspective from the ghost’s point of view. What a cool idea… the grim reaper’s book of the dead. Bravo! <3
