In a daring attempt to challenge

Extraordinary. Your windswept girl is haunting and evocative, the very essence of a soul with wings. Reminds me a bit of, 'A Portrait Of Jennie', one of my favorite, classic films. 10/10. Love, SandraX

In this marvellous poem, as well as in your poem 'The Aftermath, ' your words were as sharp and clear as a digital photograph, Sandra, so vivid and expressive that it was a great pleasure to read this as well as your other poem. This fine write tells it's tale exceptionally well and features an absolutely splendid and eerie ending which enhances the entire poem. Your talent is awesome in both of these tremendously impactful and wonderfully written poems. Carl.

A haunting tale brilliantly told. The twist in the tale at the end of the tail is exceptionally well executed.

A real mystery with this one. I could feel the wind and see the sea with your wonderful narrative. We had a ghost in our last house, but I never saw it, but my husband did often. Great work Sandra.10 love Karin

A superlative supernatural narrative, Sandra, nicely told, and apropos for October (with the approach of Halloween) . :)

The sea, the shore and a ghostly girl - - all wrapped up in a verse of expressive narrative Sandra - - it thrills the reader with its flowing urgency and ends most surprisingly.... Fay

Oh wow, Sandra, my favorite thing, a ghost in a poem, and that story, is it entirely fictional, not based on any old legend? It's fantastic; could be worked into a novel of such beauty! Thank you, my old imagination has run off from me at this gem, in search of more ghost stories and poetry. Something I will never tire of until have become a ghost myself! Hope that I will be real scary too..(smile)

it's a gripping narrative, sandra. the sea, its sanda, the wind there in have a mysterious quality by themselves. a perfect setting, indeed. what's to follow is very clear after the first stanza...

Garnier advertisement of long and strong hair and the ghost story are well weaved into a poem for the moment making the idea of fusing fact and fiction with imagination wonderfully well! Nice indeed!
