When I read this I thought of this word you have used a couple of times - hiraeth, but I think that maybe this famous Portuguese word 'saudade' is even better here. <br />I like the way you made these awful creatures (ghosts and ghouls, witches and warlocks) an essential part of our lives. I interpret them as a range of emotions (from joy to pain or fear) without which our lives are just empty.<br />Great poetry Friday. Have a good weekend too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
