Today's poem on Penny's Poetry Blog:
Winter Ghost (Taking a Time Out), by Will Dockery
[...]
Interlude
from the days of love and rage.

Paige smiles at me
through the mist
like a winter ghost
then she fades away.

Thanks again, my friend.

Wilson decided to drop the "n" from his name, thus becoming "Wilso".

Yeah, and a lot of visits as well. There have been over 100 visits to
the page, which makes it this month's most popular poem, so far, by a
wide margin.

I can show you the earlier art. I was looking for ghostly-looking images
of a lone woman outdoors. I actually found one of a woman roller
skating, but it was copyrighted so I wasn't going to use it. Then I
found this one, on a 'royalty-free page', but later I found a watermark
in the trees, meaning it was out as well:
https://www.facebook.com/pennyspoetry/posts/pfbid02NqjE7WRScs1tR1u1cPdon9rLw7vyVBQPRGYHxtZYcQEf37YR53kKWHx9e5W1FJnVl
So I replaced it with this one. It's from another page, double-checked
as per use, but I didn't like it that much; in particular, the grave,
with the suggestion the girl had risen from it.
https://www.facebook.com/george.dance.73/posts/pfbid0RBG1eEwv9un64gdGPhAMSuVtpnDGqPYf5Np5gS9gbjqg9iojhHZHkBEaM7GFLh1Rl

Both those were formatted to fit at the bottom of the page. The
advantage of Wilso's, besides being an exclusive pic, is that it could
fit to the right of the poem, leaving the bottom space free to add a
video in the future.

I did mean a piece of art depicting the same character, roller skating in the park, if another poem about her manifests...

On topic, this poem takes place in early 1981, the rooming house era.

I'm glad to see this thread up where I can comment on it. I've spent most of the time since NY working on Penny's Top 100 of 2023. You'll be happy to know that "Winter Ghost" finished at #7 for the year. That's the highest any of the poems I blogged this year managed (including my own - my best for the new stuff was #9.

Zod, your "Spring Rains" was #16.
