Poetry Monday :: Ghost & 009

Ghost ... there is only one ghost in my mind. Reviving The Wand's Tale for Wednesday's IWSG has made me think a lot of Susan, of Unicorn Farm and the magic that was lost and found.

Percy is a ghost, we know,
but for her it is a blow,
She is just a little girl,
living in an attic space.
She likes baubles, gems and pearls
her parents left, without a trace.

Susan in the attic room
by the fire sleeping
got a fright when Percy came
Percy she was weeping.
Telling tales of mom and dad
and the awful friend they had.

Later Susan understood
Tristan was the stranger.
He was up to nothing good.
And they were in danger.
Percy's help they sought and won
but the magic was all gone.

More about Unicorn Farm - I hope - in the days or weeks to come.

This Friday finally, after more than a month, I saw a 009. If I continue at this speed (or lack thereof), I'll see the car with 999 on my 140th birthday ... slim hope of this ever happening.
Photo-proof of the 009. I blotted out the two letters and two numbers preceding for privacy reasons.

  1. Sad for Percy. Maybe she will get to reincarnate into a better life?

    Have a lovely day.

    1. Percy will pass on after the magic has been restored. I think I wrote of it somewhere ;)

  2. It's a good ghost poem, but poor Percy, all alone until Susan came.

    1. Yes, Susan also felt sad for Percy. She was somewhat of a nuisance, but in the beginning Susan was the only one to see or talk to Percy. This changed later on, and Percy became an important part of the battle for freedom.

  3. I enjoyed your poem, it's always good to revisit the parts of the story I haven't thought about in a while.

    Maybe you'll get a 010 soon.

    1. Thank you. Yes revisiting is good! I have a lot of revisiting and rewriting to to.
      Those cars, sigh! I had almost given up, when I found that 009!

  4. Your poem was a complete story in itself. Poor little Percy.

    1. Thank you. That was what I tried to do. Yes poor Percy, but later on she's a valued member of the wizarding community.
