With A Ghost
Silence perches on my shoulder,
while the cold rubs a curling finger
down my back.

I like your haiku-like poem, Shelley. It has atmosphere & a hint of creepiness, about it. Very nice work. Enjoyed! :)

Very effective, short and I was left
with a haunted feeling.
I enjoyed this!

I like it, I like the idea of it, but I don't like how short it is. You've opened something very interesting and then abruptly shut it down which upset me. But if it's continued ever for maybe just a few more lines I think it could be incredible.

Thank you for your honesty :)
And I will take your suggestion into consideration.
I do actually have a longer version of this poem,
but I struggled with getting to the point in it.
There is a certain feeling of uncertainty that I want to create,
which is also why I experimented with the short form.
Again, thanks!
