Am I a Fool

[Brownlie]

This one was from the very first day of NaPM. It may not be ready for work shopping but I figured if I started others would feel more comfortable doing it. Feel free to offer any suggestions at all, everything is up for grabs here.

Am I a Fool

Am I a fool to see a ghost -
a girl that walks along the coast,
as lavender will ghost to grey
and one will turn to none and say,
"am I a fool."

This morning will be spent like most -
the endless days of tea and toast
and living is the ghost of play
am I a fool?

Two to stew and one to roast -
the spirit’s gone without the host
as night will always conquer day
as ghosts of voices fade away
you call me still so I just may.
Am I a fool?

I can see off the bat that this is a very cool poem. The ghosts seem important especially since you've used dashes which seems to connect the piece to Emily Dickinson. I'll return to the poem later.
