    Ghosties ....where?!!! This is fantastic! Love how you used the "ghost" metaphor. I know little of haiku writing myself, and am envious of your obvious talent here! This is wonderful!! Very well done! Loved it!!

    Intriguing. I'd never read Haikus before I became involved in poetry communities on the net. When written with skill they can really make an impact. This is great. Maybe I should have a go at writing Haikus...

    I'm haiku-illiterate but I love this! Very atmospheric. Reminds me of The Amityville Horror, which I'm dying to see. (Pun intended.) I like the description of ghosts as "life's echo". Never heard it put that way before. Excellent.
