Lady in Christmas Red

Victoria Lamphear 1968 (TN)

As I stand outside smoking a late night cigarette
I glance at the neighbors house
I see a Shadowy figure
My eyes adjust with the night light
It is a lady in Christmas red
A dress of red with white fluffy trim
Just standing at the door
As if to be asked in
I wait anxiously
For movement
None was made
A car's lights reflect
The lady in Christmas red is gone
I wait for the eyes to adjust to the night light again
No lady in red is seen again

Not new to poetry but taken a break and have enjoyed life, I have entered a creative writing course and it has renewed my passion. Writing poetry and short stories have been my thing for as long as I can remember. Fiction and non-fiction. I have experienced some ghostly experiences in my life and will share them with you in poetry. Hope you all are mouths and eyes wide opened! Victoria more…
