A fledgling poet's poems - Day 2

Something a little different this week. 
In the past I have shared my short story poems and my Christmas ones. This week I am sharing poems I have written since starting my creative writing MA. These are called my  fledgling poet's poems. Each day there will be a longer poem, an experimental poem, a haiku and a Cardiff haiku, 
I got told off yesterday for being down on my poems, so no negativity today. I've even changed the title of this week. Still any constructive criticism is welcome. If you are looking for my stories, then click here.

The Ghost
Unseen
I bring the chill
do you hear me? Sense me?
Feel my pain?
I was once you.
You will be me.
I echo the laughter then
silence it.
And behind locked doors,
I make you cry.

An Anagram Poem
The Sugar Mouse
They laid her out
like a sugar mouse
in a sweet shop window.
Pale, translucent, still.
Familiar, but different.
Gone.

The Sugar Mouse
Gone
Pale, translucent, still.
Familiar, but different.
like a sugar mouse 
in a sweet shop window.
They laid her out 


Accidental Haiku
Tried writing Haiku
today, but my Japanese
isn't good enough.


In the channel of water between Cardiff and Bristol are two Islands Flat Holm and Steep Holm.

Steep Holm 
Steep Holm emerges
From a veil of fog, but Flat

Holm is still hidden.
