Within the Mirror

Hello Allison, A ghost within a mirror, nice touch. I enjoyed this poem. Hugs. /Darlene/

Quite descriptive and expressive. I wonder if it was a ghost that left the prints. Thanks for sharing, Alison. Way to go. Sara K.

This would have been for Halloween. Loved it.

This is excellent writing in this form. I think you have caught the haiku/ tanka type vision

I've been inside many homes with personalities. I think that they absorb people's energies.

Excellent work and superb imagery, Alison. Apt word choice too. Howard

Wow Alison love this and a first tanka ~ well impressed. I felt the eerie~ness , picture protrays perfectly. Sheer genius my friend a fav for me.

dark, but beautiful

Dark poetry.. you capture a ghostly feeling in only a few words... show the power of your pen...

Amazing imagery Alison. I like the way you've written this as it can be taken literally or metaphorically depending on the reader. "Ghosts" "fractured glass" and "Ash footprints" symbolise to me, the required emotion... regret. Its a very cleverly written verse :-D

"ash footprints" woah that's so eerie and dark! I could feel the haunting atmosphere of your words.. those drifting ghosts and the chilled winter that lurks in the heart. Absolutely a beautiful tanka.. sending you best wishes and light always.
