A very well-written imaginative poem and an excellent interpretation of the picture this challenge. A spooky story around Halloween time is always enticing.

nice Halloween theme poem about a ghost that returns every year to a formal ball looking for her long lost lover but never finding him because she and he are ghosts

Comment from Roxanna Andrews
A spooky story of a bella donna who died unexpecedly, having sung her last aria. Now she is haunting the halls looking for her lost love. A perfect Halloween story. Well done. Rox

The reader will be drawn in by your use of onomatopoeia, your alliteration, and your use of allusions. This poem is packed with literary techniques. This carries a wanton message. You will do what the writer is supposed to do, elicit empathy from the reader. Well orchestrated.

Comment from thaities, Rebecca V.
I enjoyed this well written poem of an annual Halloween event that is not scary or frightening. The unrequited love is endearing. Well done!

What a great entry for the Picture Challenge and I like that you used an opera prima donna for the picture. How cool, too, to add this Halloween's blue moon!
Suggestion:
having just ending an embrace (ended) seems like you need a participle form here.

lyenochka, yes you are correct, I did let that dangling participle linger to long. Thank you for taking the time to read and comment on this free verse.
Comment from Mary Vigasin
Very well done.
I enjoyed the story and the haunting of the singer searching for her husband.
Your writing gives the reader the image of this prima donna as she haunts the halls.

This poor woman has lost her man. Maybe she might find him again. It is an interesting poem. Excellent work! No grammatical errors. Thanks for sharing!

Comment from Gloria ....
Excellent response to the challenge, J. Tis totally fitting that a Prima Donna would return to pine for her long departed love on All Hallows' Eve. Your imagery is spectacular and your tone of unrequited love an excellent motif.
Great job and many thanks for sharing.
