Ghost Story

... a 5 and dime challenge poem...

A Ghost Story

I write the story of the Ghost Dancers

as told to me by Brother Wolf and White Buffalo.

We gather at dusk to dance and sing

bringing back the ‘old ways’.

By dancing, we believe

we become invisible;

the white soldiers cannot see us

and trust our arrows

will scatter these enemies to the winds.

Brother Wolf said, “ I died that day at Wounded Knee.”

~~redzone 9.27.12

Inspired by the 5 and Dime Challenge

words: gather, trust, scatter, believe, write

Oh, okay.... nice to know you are "grounded" I think... though not stationary... ;0)

Very nicely pulled together with the images as well. And yes, I understand the need to highlight the words for the purpose of pointing out the words, but you know what I mean ...:)

I do and I almost removed the underlines but kept it true to the challenge and the way I originally wrote it...

thanks Kl glad you liked it..
