A Ghostly Passenger
She never made it across...
Rated:

Avg Rating: (10)
A darkened road

Chilled by a breeze.

Dead leaves flutter

Like dying birds.

A thumbnail scrap of moon

Barely visible in the sky

Look there!

It's the bridge!

The legend says

She died there.

On a night like this,

Her car took the curve,

Missed the bridge,

The murky creek

Flooded her car.

Every anniversary

Of her death

She rides again.

A ghostly passenger

On a brief trip

Over the bridge.

Only to disappear

On the other side.



***Based on a local story about a young woman who died on the old bridge that spanned Bayou Meto Creek many years ago.***
