Nicely written haiku poem. It's always nice to see someone write about a true story, about something that matters. We can say a lot in a few words. Thank you for sharing and best wishes. N.B

I enjoyed reading your 5-7-5 haiku "The Ghost of Mamie Thurmond". You followed all the rules for this genre. (To me 5-7-5 is the only haiku) - I find this may offend some.
All the best.

Nice short horror story in this rhyming haiku. But I thought haikus weren't supposed to rhyme. And I know you follow all the rules. Just like I do. HaHa.
Nice artwork.
Keep writing

That is such a sad story, Dean. That the handyman was used as a scapegoat for the banker is horrible. Obviously, Mamie sparked off some jealousy, either the banker or his wife's. Do you know if he was ultimately charged? Wonderful 5-7-5 poem and wonderful author's notes too! :) Sandra xx

Good morning, Dean
Enjoyed the poem and the history lesson. Simple but concise image regarding her murder. I'll admit my ignorance regarding what haiku is suppose to convey to the reader -- is it the image the message or both? Out of sixes.
Take care and stay safe,
Ray

To condense a story like this into seventeen syllables, the maximum allowed in haiku is worthy of merit on its own. However I have been given to understand that the satori line should be somehow separate from the sentence established over the first two lines. However I read this, and allowing for the Caesar a at the end of line two I still rate this as a single statement. No doubt those better versed in haiku will pass the ultimate sentence on this sentence.
