Ghost 🌹

Ice air pricks the skin
The darkness whispers a name
Flowers wilt and die.

I'm terrible at haiku but can't resist a challenge! Check out @beelightfully and her haiku challenge here and contribute with your own! This week's theme is GHOST.

I can't help getting a little gothic. The wilting rose is such a gothic symbol. But to be honest if I were to express a belief in ghosts, it's more the energy of those left behind and the living feeling that energy.

Loving Blurt's engagement challenges!

Hi 😊 I did post that you need to use the word ghost but actually I’m revising as I like the idea and freedom of using the word or having it as the theme ❤️ Thanks for the inspiration!!

Oh sorry I must have missed that rule!!!! I hope you liked it anyway. I wanted to convey the hint of ghost, like a ghost itself! Does it come across?

Your haiku wasn't bad at all. I'm not an expert on haiku, but I think it's pretty good.
Thanks for the challenge invitation, also 😄
