Sally In the Wood

long ago 'twas colonel brownes' folly to build a tower in a wood just for employment and to be jolly had he known, surely he never would the folly still stands with no penitence yet gypsy girl Sally was locked in there imprisoned without sustinence left to die without any care no birds nest now in this woodland flying by with no song it seems many see Sally's ghost first hand and hear her piercing screams a road winds through this wood now the darkness chills you to the bone eight fatal car crashes, not known how but it is said Sally is no longer alone UP TO 20 LINES Poetry Contest Sotto Poet APRIL 28, 2023
