The train moves like a
Heavy ghost, just tired with the
burden of haunting.

well this is def a haiku and i like the imagery a lot but i prefer it when the sentences don't go over more than one line - that's just me of course and not everyone is going to think that so don't worry too much.

i like the idea of a 'heavy' ghost as ghosts are always thought of as being pretty weightless. lol

good work. keep it up.

This was cool. It reminds me of the movie "Spirited Away" and the train in that. Good movie too. That's a cool description of a train though. Cool.

I think this is really cool. Kind of a confusing imagery, but it worked out after a little thought.

Nice to have poems which make you think, versus decoding.

Soft and pretty.
"Tired with the burden of haunting" is a great image. Or idea or whatever.
Nice job. You say alot with so few words.

the train...haunts? alright.
besides the slight confusion, i thought this was rather good.



sometimes i'm like "I should say something quotable to make it into the quote gen" but then I feel bad because quote gen quotes are very spontaneous
