I don't understand why someone would rate me a 3 on this and then not explain why they rated it so low?.....

Not a poem, only a story.

HAve you ever read the RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER? This is extreamly Long, yet this is a very famous poem, just because something reads long and tells a story does not make not a poem. Some of the greatest poems are like this. Sence you are only 16 i will give it to you that you probley havn't read up on the different types of poetry there are, i mean to you if it doesn't cat and mat type of poem - a rhyming poem then it isn't a poem. Start reading, this is a poem.

Woohoo! Jacki's still got it! You just know I had to rush right over and see when I saw that you had new ghostie stories for me to read. For the moment this is the only one I can read, but I'll read some more as soon as I get to my regular computer. As always, I loved the story. I could visualize her ghost floating ever so slowly towards a stone scared figure in the doorway. Excellent work, I hope your talent for writing about ghost never fades!
