Ghosts

[Quincunx]

Dashed this off in five minutes on another forum, and dropped it into haiku for convenience:

 

We are not alone

In the universe. We are not

In this universe

 

when we are alone.

Do not lurk in the doorway.

It's considered. . .rude.

 

Come in or stay out

Of this aloneness. Do not

lurk in the doorway.

 

I think there's a scrap of goodness there to expand into a proper poem. There's some poetic forms with repetition and possibly also with three lines to a verse, but without remembering their names, I'm finding it difficult to search for them. The few-years-old What Poetic Form are You? quiz would have been nice, but those blasted HTML result images aren't searchable text.
