What a great picture to illustrate this chapter of your haiku story.

Romanian ghosts allowed an easy way to give setting!

Adding the squeaky gate... excellent!

I am enjoying this adventure!

I knew I missed a few, I am glad you made a way to get back to all the piece in order.
True to form, the mystery of the ghosts and the fear we put with them

Hi Dean,

I'm going back to check all of the chapters out and catch up. Direct correlation to the previous post here with the continuation of the leaf motif. The atmosphere is remaining constant and the imagery is super.

Thanks, G-Man. I'm really glad to know that you're enjoying reading these as much as Gypsy Blue Rose and I enjoy writing them. Neither of us has any idea where the next chapter is going to lead. That keeps the writing fresh, and as much of a surprise to us as it is everyone else.
Thanks so much again, my friend. I sincerely appreciate your time spent going back through the chapters.

This horror haiku, rusted gate, uses its sixteen syllables to place us in a cemetery near Transylvaia in the dark of a cool, autumn night. I hope the little girl doesn't turn around. I figure she has no face to speak of. Nice, creepy poem.

Loved the juxtaposition from crackle to squeak and whisper, great use of onomatopoeia to raise hackles as you introduce the horror with just the simple mention of Romanian ghosts. You have the nature kigo in the leaves. The turn is brilliant as it moves from a chilling whisper to as spooky rusted squeak, with rust embodying decay.

Ohhh, this put a smile on my face. Yes, yes. A rusty gate and a Romanian ghost. This horror haiku is quite vivid as I read Bram Stoker's Dracula for the first time only last year. Thank you for sharing and giving me shivers.

Awesome idea for a book. Definitely a unique angle. I liked the squeaking gate. It's such a visual that gets the readers imagination moving towards the thoughts of Dracula and the undead. Great details that give this haiku life. (No pun intended). Great job. Gretchen
