THE GHOST OF THE MOORS

THE  GHOST OF THE MOORS

I WAS WALKING IN THE 
MOORS A BEAUTIFUL
DAY SOME CLOUDS 
AND THE SKY WAS BLUE
A LIGHT BREEZE A COOL DAY
THE SUN WAS BRIGHT AND 
WARM JUST A LOVELY DAY
I WOULD SAY AND AS I WALKED 
AND WALKED NOTHING MATTER
AND NOT NEEN A CHATTER I COULD 
HEAR AND THEN I CAME UPON
A BEACH AND SAT DOWN 
LOOKING DOWN IN VALLEY 
WATCHING BIRDS FLYING 
AND SHEEP EATING ALL
OF  SUDDEN!!!!! THE FOG 
CAME IN AND IT WAS 
THICK AND HEAVY 
AND THEN IT STOP
AND OUT THE FOG
CAME MAN DRESSED OLD
CLOTHING AND WALKS UP 
TO ME AND SHAKES A FINGER
AT  ME AND SAY BE GOOD YOUNG 
MAN AND THEN WALKS BACK

TO THE FOG AND TURNS AROND
AND WAVES AND WALKS IN TO
THE FOG AND THEN THE FOG
WAS GONE 
THE GHOST OF THE MOORS

This sounds really eary Greg. I hope it wasn't based on a true experience, I'd have been terrified. Nicely written.

Greg you had me on the word ghost and your poem drips a chilling and memorable atmosphere of the highest and densest order.
 Thanks Greg and a  great ethereal theme and poem that lingers after reading.

I dont know how I managed to miss this one until now Greg .. its got everything a thrill seeker looks for in a post of this kind .. Made even spookier because I live on Exmoor a real live moor in deepest darkest West Somerset, England ............................................................ Neville :)
