Well, with such a brilliant poetic line for a title, Sandra, I was looking forward to reading an excellent poem and I was not disappointed. You told this fine tale vividly and quite well and your startling conclusion to it is both logical and the best one that there could be. It was a very enjoyable poem to read, and also to recognize the talent that caused this fascinating write. Carl.
a ghost, a dream, a fantasy, an encounter with an evil spirit, was there a woman involved and did he lose more than his consiousness? ... loved the suspense, the mystery, the intrigue...just wonderful, Sandra!
you have excellent command on writing narrative poems. now this one is open to many interpretations, could be a dream, nightmare, hallucination, glimpse of the maker. wonder what Freud would have to say... the point is it holds the interest till the end like a suspense novel. Mamta
Wonderful tale, a nightmare perhaps? Made me think though does anybody offer to let you in out of the rain today. Bob 10++

Your tales are always so mesmerizing. You know just how much to reveal and how much to hold back. You must descend from royal generations of storytellers! (smile)
Sandra, what a wonderful haunting tale you have presented us here, was it a dream or hallucination, it is up to the reader to decide. My guess is it was a dream. Top marks and thanks for sharing this with us my friend. Hugs David
