Will the ghosts
mock the medium
successful
up to now
corralling ectoplasm
for a nice profit?

The dollars
sigh on their tired trudge
out of the
thin billfold
into the cash register
at the pharmacy

trilogy
of dinner plates chat
Stray ladle
reaches out
for a unifying word.
A pot breathes out steam.
Claudia McGill Writes Poetry, Did You Know That? 
The final poem makes me think of all the anthropomorphic kitchen items in the Disney movie ‘Beauty and the Beast’. I think you could conjure up an entire short story out of that first poem. I love the idea of a charlatan medium actually being manipulated by ghosts. I think I would be the type of belligerent ghost who refused to be at someone’s beck and call, performing for their own gain.
