Hallow e’en and I look out my window from the comfort of my work place, feeling blessed by the view, and my surroundings. And then something happens …
OUTSIDE HAUNTING 
walnut Douglas fir
alder maple
copper beech outlines
muted by fingers of mist
looking in you
would see desk computer
printer files books
more books a black cat
asleep one ear turned
to the tap-type of fingers
chest-of-drawers piled 
with journals papers
the mess of a writer’s life
while I look out
at the ghost of you

Hi Joanna,
Just letting you know I am still around and reading your blog. Haven’t written much for a while, but do hope to get back to it.
I trust all is well with you.
Many blessings,
Bill (Cook)
Hi Bill,
Great to hear from you; I think of you often as I edit the poems we wrote as challenges! Love to see more of your work.
All is well with us here. Blessings as ever, Joanna
