Two Poems by Angel Edwards

 



The Ghost of the Ghost Train


The ghost of the ghost train runs every Halloween night

Racing down the tracks 

to dead passengers delight

 

green makeup on faces of witches 

no apparent train engineer

Samantha like twitches

 

skeletons kiss 

without lips

ride seven laps 

around the tracks

bow deeply

disappear



Haiku


my branch feels your touch

Our roots aware of this bliss

tree tears happiness
