This reminds me of the many children who have imaginary playmates that they 'see'. These are very real to those who have them. I never did but I have known several people who did.

Were these 'ghosts' or simply figments of the child's imagination I wonder.

The subject fits the genre of free verse well as is demonstrated in this piece.

    My oldest son had an imagery friend until his brother came along. I watch my cats playing with either a ghost or an imaginary friend. Thank you for the compliment.

What makes this a most interesting prompt is that it's a letter from a ghost. Uh oh ... lol.

This ghost seems to be a guardian angel as your free verse so well elucidates.

Beautiful poem and where do you come up with all these wonderful prompts, and don't ever stop. :)

Those very words touched me sentimentally and I was moved that verse of spirituality. Deep and profound. Gentle and with strength. Thank you for sharing that wonderful verse.

Your ghost sounds so sad, Yvonne. You did a great job with the Free Verse Club prompt. Your lines read well with great imagery. I like the us of w, f, t, & m alliteration and the cross rhyme of years/tears. I like how the ghost is telling you to be assured it is friendly when/if it knocks' on your door. Your words paint their own picture so none is needed. I like the gray background--kind of mysterious and the white font--very ghost-like. I could imagine the ghost flying around and letting you know it's there and/or leaving you a note. Yes, your ghost is linked forever to you--in this case a good thing. You have made it happy after years of sadness.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Thanks for challenging us to keep practicing free verse and I feel sad for the ghost who longs to have a family like the writer he feels linked to in a deep way. Perhaps the ghost feels some catharsis inspiring the writer.
