Poetry Day: Night of the Ghost Dance

Posted on January 16, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

Minions from Despicable Me

(A fun little poem about ghosts and dancing.  Enjoy.)

Starry skies are set abuzz
Killing all but a lonely echo

 

Evil rises in moonlight dim
Leaving their shadowy tomb

 

Ears of vapor listen for the concerti
To tell them when to dance

 

Once it starts, the dance is endless
No ghost will resist the magic

 

Summoning all without flesh
A night of fun in the spectral gala

 

Making the world of death idyllic
Before the sun begins its daily arch
And ends the ghosts’ euphoria
