Happy now, MOTHER?!

So after reading Lana V Lynx series. I came across this cute little doll in a park. I was prompted to take the picture by the memory of her series, what a coincidence. Not for the same reason as was written in the series — mind you. But I wanted to use it in this haiku incase it added or maybe even answered, the mystery… maybe it complicated it, enjoy! ♥️

Door swung, chain stayed taut. 👻
