The Ghost

Ghastly
Ghostly
Chilly
Tingly
Pale and wan the ghastly, ghostly be
Made a scared and chilly, tingly me.

After reading The Busker by Roy Pett I was inspired to have a go at a Tyburn myself.

It's taken a long time I can tell you, but you inspired me, I wanted to achieve this form. Thank you for all your encouragement.
