The Songs Of The House (Without Number, Without Voice)

by Kissing Daisy

My first attempt at a haiku series, dealing with the Phantomhive Manor after its abandonment. Reviews dealing with style would be especially helpful here.

AN:
My first time writing haiku poetry. Enjoy.

Sebastian goes
Leaving only a hollow
Shell, devoid of life

Fire embraces it
Burned down to the bare stone rooms
Yet to be reborn

Memories of rats
Gnawing beneath the floorboards
The only ones left

Suggestion of life
Flickers through the empty hall
Insubstantial

Ghost of Ciel walks
Along corridors long-dead
Lonely walk of peace

Pluto's final howl
Dead leaves in the grand ballroom
Shift, then become still

Grave-dirt on the floors
Symbolic, no redemption
The end of the line

Broken teacups lie
Discarded, disused, empty
Remembering lips

The servants' quarters
Abandoned, and unloved now
Owners are all gone

The songs of the house
Without number, without voice
Will never be sung

Again.
