excellent poem max...ghostly but inspiring and very easy to read...you use words very well.
i loved this...i agree with the writer before me that there is a haunting feel to it which was wonderful...i've read some great ghost stories but only a handful of great ghostly poems...this was exceptionally well-written! ! !

ahh.. so you prefer to write in the morning, when it is nice and quiet.. Couldn't agree more! Nice write, maybe I should try Starbucs myself :) HBH
