There was a tapping on the keyboard one early morning…

I woke up to the sound of tapping
the tapping of the keyboard
where I type my thoughts

It was early morning
so no one was working
and nor was I yearning

But there it was
clicking away and
oh, was it here to stay?

I perked my ears
for it was dark
and when I opened the door

I saw not but a shadow
slipping away
and all was silent

A ghost in a necktie visits the groom

    It could be house sprites and not a ghost. Maybe if I leave Triond on before I go to sleep they can write articles overnight and get them posted, so that by morning, they’ll already be published and earning. House sprites used to only make shoes and other chores at night, but maybe now they’ve upgraded to writing and blogging in this information age?

    sounds like a ghost visiting you.

  • Judy Sheldon on Jan 10, 2011

    Hopefully a friendly spirit?

    I think these elementals or ghosts have caught up with Facebook. Baka fume-facebook lang! lol As long as they don’t hurt people, that’s alright by me.

  • Absinthe on Jan 17, 2011

    That’s one experience you will never forget in your entire life. Be happy about it. :-)

  • crisdiwata on Jan 18, 2011

    Maybe that ghost wanted to send you a message. :)

  • Blackhat on Oct 28, 2011

    That’s not spooky if you’ve already encountered different entities.

    For Clairvoyants one of the basic experiences they could ever experience!

    Nice :)
