A ghost has joined the AD writers, he did so to tell us of the otherside, he will write thru any and all of us...will YOU know when someone else is writing thru you?

" i wandered lonely as a cloud


  that floats on high o'er vales & hills,


  when all at once I saw a crowd,


  a host, of golden daffodils..."


                          william wordsworth


 


 


FROM THE OTHER SIDE…


 


Yes, a ghost I be, I just joined AD,


Am here with stories & humor from the other side,


First posted in white, on a blue background,


Now have to use red, as white doesn’t post,


I think that white is prejudiced against,


I am white all the time, without it I am an invisible host,


I am otherwise never seen, the color of pallor be me…


 


If I herein use the wrong word, or misspell in someway,


Please allow for it, as my brain went for research,


So please be nice to me, I don’t remember much, don’t besmirch,


I sit here on a cloud so soft, it is the place I live now, my perch,


Over looking the world and the human race,


Watching the world I did live in, had I did a special place…


 


So in future maybe you will catch me,


Not an easy task as I am but a wisp in the wind,


On a fluffy cloud you see in the sky,


Each and every one being either a girl or a guy,


Heaven just a word, and hell doesn’t exist,


Except for the place you all live, that is hell, don’t resist…


 


I write as best as I can, through one of your own,


His brain is less than perfect, his abilities I will hone,


His name being Ed & Rufuz his dog, be nice and throw him a bone,


So when you see a cloud pass over your home,


Give it a wave and a smile, as I may be that cloud,


I take great care in the keeping of it white, yes I am most proud…

Hey was that you we were waving too? My granddaughter Autumn and I was waving at a cloud that looked like Elf's shoes with bells......You see we thought a fairy lived in there and was peeking at us while we were eating crackers and drinking juice.

Wow! This is wonderful news, Ed. An AD member - from the other side. Reading this, I felt like I was on a Ouija Board, contacting a spirit. Does he have a name? And where is he/she/it from?

Hope this newest AD member reveals more!
