Freewrite - “Ferry Across the River of Death”

“I am alive!”
“I am alive!”
Cried the ghost
On the ferry ride
But it was clear
That the air
Smelled of rot and fear
And the water
Ran red
With the blood
Of the dead
“No!”
“I am alive!”
She cried and cried
The ghost next to her
Replied
“So am I!”
So she tried
To close her eyes
Reach inside
And find
The memory
Of life
Of LIFE
But life
Was gone
And she was on
Her way
Beyond
The Great Beyond
And gone
And gone
For good.

Hey look, it's a poem! I haven't done one of those in a while. Maybe it's time for me to get back into the habit. Especially when there are trickier prompts like these. I will think about that.

But anyway, head on over here for the details and prompt to write your own freewrite today.
