The Clockhouse At Halloween

The Clockhouse's A. E. Housman Suite at Halloween
Alfred Edward Housman's apparition Recites "A quieter place than Clun(ton) Where doomsday may thunder and lighten"* A E Housman's ghost does frighten In the Arvon Clockhouse Retreat Downstairs, stays a lass with time to write Upstairs, stays a poet in the A E Housman Suite Housman's ghost is an awesome sight Ghostly pacing, floorboards creak mysteriously The lass disturbed in the night Hearing strange noises clairvoyantly Seeks answers in the daylight Is it a Halloween trick or a treat? * Poem 50 (L) from A E Housman's "A Shropshire Lad"

I can think of nothing scarier than a ghostly poet, most of us dwell in between any way. Well done!
