This little thing was inspired by a recent conversation……
.
forever haunting me
.
Her metaphors possess me
like a supernatural entity
clinging to my soul in desperation
Refusing to release me
as if it never had a body
to claim as its own
The ghosts in her verses
engrave poetry on tombstones
inside the graveyard of my heart
As her poetry eternally echoes
for her words are spirits
forever haunting me

First, I have had this problem crop up before.
It wasn’t only you that fell in Spam. There were nearly 40 comments there. My blog does bulk dumping into Spam. So, I will be getting to your other comment soon. Thanks for the heads up.

That happens most probably because you blog on certain days only, so there is a barrage of comments. As a result some of them automatically land into spam.
