My pale poltergeist’s

Cold fingers caress my cheek

And I get goosebumps

Transparent as wind

It is a cold hearted friend

Haunting depression

The mist ebbs and flows

Weaving strands of milky doom

Like ghosts sliding home

Pale frosty fingers.

You’ll find no prints on the tips.

She will leave no trace.

This ghost has a story. I’m here for it, that middle line opens up so many possibilities 🖤

They came off the walls

Shadows surrounded her bed

What did they discuss?

Am I supposed to base my Haiku off both Ghost AND the photo? If so, I've been doing it wrong. ;)

Um... I’m not great with authority. Or at being an authority... this is to say there aren’t really rules, lol.

My Haiku was based in reality (my reality, anyway). I wasn't aware of the shadow people until I googled to see if anyone else had seen these things walking around their homes as children.

One night, they surrounded my sister's bed, and it looked like they were discussing something.

A cold draft of air

A pale shimmer at twilight

What spirit is this?
