Orbs of Past

Victoria Lamphear 1968 (TN)



Being a teen of mischievousness
Having others over while parents were gone
Telling ghost stories to scare them
Pretending I was possessed
I knew than I was unique
I did not realize this was the day
The day for the appearance
As I and a young boy was in my room
A orb showed, green and brightly
It showed itself in midair
went from one side of the room to the other
Once in the middle, it dropped
Like a flash of light
Screaming and running from the room we went
Telling all who would listen
Only taunted because of my persistence that I
I was possessed
An orb good or bad
An orb that will not be forgotten
A friend never heard from 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…
