Ghost in the Land of Skeletons
By Christopher Kennedy
As a lover of the supernatural I found this poem to be quite
a fun read. The subject matter is really interesting because it brings up some
cool questions about the body and soul, and the idea of ghosts after life. It’s
obvious that the subject in the poem seeks to be free of being stuck in a flesh
and bone body. They also think of themself as a ghost and I found it sort of
sad but fascinating how it’s almost as if they’re forgetting they’re alive and in
a body. They wish to be like the other ghosts who lack a body and bones, free
of their fleshy prisons. The structure of the poem makes it feel like a little
story and I feel like it adds to the overall idea of the poem in that way. The
visual images brought up in the poem are also well done. Bones, flesh, smiles
and teeth, it gives a sort of creepy vibe to the poem.
